Special Characters and D2L

Modified on: Mon, Nov 20 2023 8:06 AM

Having trouble uploading or submitting your file to D2L?


Make sure the filename contains only letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores. Only use a single period in the filename — just before the file extension (e.g., .docx, .pdf). 


Do not use special characters in the filename, such as:

  • extra periods (".")
  • slashes ("/")
  • ampersands ("&")
  • colons (":")
  • question marks ("?")
  • quotation marks,
  • pound signs or hash marks ("#")
  • asterisks ("*")


For example, Be-The-Difference.docx will work as a filename for upload to D2L. But Ring.Out/Ahoya&MU#Rah*Rah.pdf won't work.
