Adding and Deleting Links or Attachments to a Course for Home Access Center

Use these procedures to add or delete links or attachments to courses. They display as links or as files that guardians or students can download from Home Access Center. If the Classwork tab displays in Home Access Center, they can click on the link for the course name to display general course information. The links or attachments you add display at the bottom of the course information pop-up window. Guardians or students can then access the links or click the link for an attachment and download and print the file. We recommend that you use file types that will be supported on most home computers.

Additionally, you can add attachments for individual assignments. Refer to Adding Attachments to Gradebook Assignments for more information on attaching files for an assignment.
