If students send these programs through email, the system often blocks the email because of executable attachments. We have an LMS that allows assignment submissions that would work, but there are some exceptions where email is still preferred. We’ve talked about having students change the extensions, but that does not work consistently. Our CS professors would like us to put an exception in our email security rules to allow all attachments to them. I don’t think that’s a good idea. I am wondering how others are handling this? Thank you for your time. John LaPrad Manager of Technical Services Saginaw Valley State University 989-964-7134
