To ensure that assignments can be submitted on time, students should back up all written and audio/visual project assignments in multiple locations; the college strongly recommends that students back up all documents on a hard drive, flash drive, and email attachment. I also recommend using Google Drive (GoogleDocs, GoogleSlides etc.) because it saves your work as you go.
