Professors can place files in the "ClassWorkspace" folder and students can submit and share files in the Documents folder. Course folders are available under your R: drive on campus public computers, by using SSL VPN to open mavdiskmsu, or by mapping a drive to mavdiskmsu. Classes in which students are not registered are not visible. Class folders remain visible for one semester after the course completion.
