-When submitting assignments from outside the Prism lab, you may use  [[https://webapp.eecs.yorku.ca/submit|EECS Web Submit]].  However, sometimes, a course requires you to submit via command line submit. For example, if that course uses an automated checking system to check your submitted work, this functionality is not yet available in Web Submit, so you will be required to use command line submit.  In this case, you will have to transfer your files to an EECS server, then login remotely, and use the command line submit tool.+When submitting assignments from outside the Prism lab, you may use  [[https://webapp.eecs.yorku.ca/submit|EECS Web Submit]].  However, sometimes, a course requires you to submit via command line submit.
