SUBMITTING YOUR HOMEWORK
Ohsi Instructions

Most of your homework will be submitted online using the Ohsi system (online homework submission interface). Make sure you sign up first. You will need to supply a valid email address and SCC student ID. Once logged-in simply select the class and assignment you'd like to turn in and paste in or compose your homework. It is strongly recommended that you compose your homework in a word processor, such as Microsoft Word, and paste into the web form. Always save offline copies of the assignments you turn in.

Currently, Internet Explorer is unsupported. If you are using Firefox, you may not be permitted to “copy and paste” into Ohsi... but it should work to drag the text from you word processing software into the web form.

Important Note: If you are using a public computer, be sure to log out and quit the browser before leaving.
