# Invalid Assignment Error

## Invalid Assignment Error Message

Students may receive the following error message when accesing an assignment from the LMS. This issue typically occurs when the LMS course has been copied and the SIMnet assignments are still linked to the 'original' or 'parent' SIMnet course the LMS course was copied from.

This error may also occur because the SIMnet assignment has been removed, but the linked assignment on the LMS remains intact.
