MCC - CIS162AB - C++ Level I Submitting an Assignment Online Through Blackboard

In this course assignments will be submitted online using Blackboard. Before you can access Blackboard, you must have created a Mesa Community College (MCC) email account. If you haven't created an email account yet, see Creating an Email Account.

Blackboard Notes:

• Be sure to complete your assignment first, and then refer to these instructions to submit your assignment.
• Empty files can NOT be uploaded. Make sure the correct file is submitted.
• Important: Pop-ups need to be allowed in the browser, and Pop-up and Ad Blockers will need to be disabled in order to use Blackboard. Blackboard opens separate windows for various functions (tests, discussions, etc.), and pop-up blockers prevent these functions from working correctly.
