Can't Access Course Documents?

Unfortunately, this is one of the side effects of technology. Without knowing exactly what is wrong, there's very little I can do to help you. First, try the following, as they've been known to help.

• Make sure your browser is up-to-date with the latest version.
• Try a different browser such as Firefox or Chrome.
• Clear your browser's cache to free up resources.
• Sometimes GoogleDocs responds to other Google resources, so have a gmail account. Maricopa colleges provides free access to them, you just have to activate your account from here: Maricopa Gmail. After that make sure you're logged in when you want to access course documents.

If you're still experiencing trouble, talk to someone in one of the computer labs on campus as they can likely help.

File Format and Names

File Format (The type of document)
     I accept the following file formats (no others): .doc, .docx, .rtf
     I have experienced trouble with the .odf and .odt format, so please do not submit them.
     Assignments in other formats are not accepted; they will receive no credit. Please review the playlist of videos on Microsoft Word for help with formatting documents and saving.

File Names (What you type in when you save your assignment)
     Your submitted files must be named very specifically using the following format:

• Responses: (ID)_(Handle)_R(response #)_(Code)  = 
• 107_Sam_R10_W425.rtf
• Essays: (ID)_(Handle)_(Assignment Letter) = 
• 103_Sam_B.docx
• Response Advancement: (ID)_(Handle)_RA(response #) = 
• 112_Sam_RA7.doc

ID: A unique number you will receive after registration, used to identify who wrote the assignment.
Handle: Each class has a nickname, which will be sent to you after completing registration.
Assignment: Each assignment has a number (responses) or letter (essays) found on the assignment sheet.
Code: (Responses only) Each response has a unique code found on a label handed out in class the day the response is assigned. If you do not include your code number, your response is not accepted.

• Warning!: If you have the same code number as someone else in class, both of your responses will be Voided for academic misconduct.
