The adjective 'submitted' (submit + -ed) simply receives the negative prefix 'un-', giving the clear meaning 'not handed in'.

The word unsubmitted is made from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the verb submit meaning 'to hand in' or 'to send for approval'. So, unsubmitted describes something that was 'not handed in' or not officially sent for approval.
