An academic share is a folder on a server. The contents of this folder are visible to, and accessible by, every network user -- staff or student. Every instructor has an academic share – it is located on a campus server and the name of the folder is the instructor’s first initial followed by the last name. Faculty use this folder to make available (share) files with their students – things like sample tests, presentations, data files, assignments.     Printer-friendly version of this page

To Access the Academic Share of an Instructor

Click the Start button on the Task Bar and choose Run. In the Run dialog box, key in the appropriate server name. (To determine the correct server name for your campus, please refer to the table below).

When the server window opens, double-click on the AcademicShares folder. When the AcademicShares folder opens, double-click on the appropriate campus folder. When the campus folder opens, scroll through the contents until you locate your instructor’s academic share then double-click it.

Every academic share contains a Dropbox folder. As a student, you can deposit files in your instructor’s Dropbox, but the contents of the Dropbox are only visible to the instructor. No one else can view the contents of that folder.
