    • If this limit is met, attempts to add files may result in an error message indicating the quota has been exceeded.
    • If additional disk space is required, the instructor or T/A may send a request toithelp@design.upenn.edu.

    • Submission (Write & List Only) – This folder is for receiving materials FROM the students. They will be able to copy a file to the folder and view the contents. They will NOT be able to read or edit any files, including their own.
