 Note: When entering the below information, a typo will render the fix ineffectual.

1. Create a new window or tab.
2. Type about:config into your url bar.
3. Now right click in the content section of the browser and select New > String.
4. Enter capability.policy.policynames into the "New String Value" box.
   
5. Click OK.
6. Type allowclipboard in the "Enter string value" box.
7. Click OK.

Repeat steps 4-7 with the following string name/value pairs:

Note! Do not include an ending slash on the website or copy/paste will not work.  

Name	Value
capability.policy.policynames	allowclipboard
capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites	https://uascentral.uas.alaska.edu
capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy	allAccess
capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste	allAccess

When you have submitted an assignment, you will see a note in the assignments section of the homesite indicating that it has been completed.

After your instructor has evaluated your submission, you can click on the [ESSAY], [QUIZ], or [TASK] to see your submission and the instructor's evaluation.

Many instructors use the gradebook feature on their UAS Online course sites.  If an instructor has this enabled, as a student, you will see your progress report appear in the bottom of the Assignments section of the Course Homesite.

In the Progress Report, you can see what your instructor is tracking and any grades and comments that have been recorded.  You can also go to the Grade Estimator to determine what grades you will need to get the overall grade that you want.
