If you are using students account

Your URL would be:

If you are not sure how to this you should probably schedule some time with me so I can sit down with you.

If you are having problems uploading to your students account you can upload the HTML file to the COL system. This will not count as an acceptable form of submission but you will have 24 hours from the due date to get to the lab and upload your file to your students account. You can access your students account from any of the depaul labs. Properly submitting your file to your students account is part of the grade.
