Quota Policy
A 200 megabyte (MB) quota is imposed on all Course Management System course sites in order to maintain the highest level of functionality. As a result of this policy:
- Instructors whose courses are 180MB or larger will be notified by eLearning that they are approaching their quota limit.
- Once a course reaches (or exceeds) the 200MB limit, no new content will be able to be added to the course. This includes student submissions to the drop box as well as content that instructors may try to upload.
- Both students and instructors will continue to have access to the course content and students can complete assignments, even if the course is over quota.
