Smart Classroom Security Policy
CSUB ITS established an official security
policy.


Students are not allowed to stay in the MIS Lab
without a faculty member present.
Students will not be allowed to loan the MIS lab
proxy card under no circumstances.
There are no exceptions to this rule.

questions or suggestions about this policy
Submission
You must submit everthing (i.e., assignment,
project, & midterm exam) through our course
Blackboard submission link. Otherwise, it will
not be accepted.
If you’d like to avoid any type of possible
technical problem, please submit using a PC in
the school computer lab (library).
Try to submit earlier.
Submission
When you submit an assignment (or exam),
you MUST CLOSE the Microsoft office
application (i.e., Word, PowerPoint, Excel and
Access) COMPLETELY before you submit
your file (i.e., assignment, project, exam)
Otherwise, you will receive ZERO POINT
Submission
Because ONLY title of you file will be
processed and accepted without including
actual contents of your file (i.e.,
assignment, project, exam).
And if you need to submit several files, you
must submit all files together at once. That
is, you must "UPLOAD" all the files together
at once.

the classroom, faculty are expected to initiate
actions to correct such conditions. Such actions
may result in disciplinary action ranging from

sanctions, including probation, suspension, or
expulsion.”
Course Guideline
Peer Group Evaluation is a part of the
grading scheme.

Please remember that your final grade can be up or down
