    Obtain space on a web server. The web server must be accessible from the instructor's office. Most students will simply use the free space they are provided on the NSU arapaho web server. You can apply for space on arapaho by selecting the button "Students" under "Apply for Space" at arapaho.nsuok.edu. Be aware, it may take several days until space is granted. It may not be necessary to apply for space on arapaho if you have requested space in the past.

    After you have obtained space on a web server, read the course syllabus and then download the file syllabus-agreement.doc. Complete the form and mail it to the address below.
