Please only access Google submissions from within Course Site.

While you won’t need to link your Lehigh Google account again, you will select the Google assignments tool each time to add your assignments. There will also be a backup folder created in your Google Drive called “Google Assignments",  and a subfolder titled the name of your class. You should not work from this folder--  it is for backup purposes only.
