Registration
You have to register with Handin before you use it for the first time. To register, choose the "Register" link from the menu on the left. Input your CSE username along with a password (NOT your CSE password) on the registration page, and click the "Register" button at the bottom of the page to finish the process. You will then receive mail on CSE to confirm your registration.

Handing in
To hand in an assignment, go to CSE155 class's handin web page (http://cse.unl.edu/~cse155a/handin) and fill out the form on that page. Use the your CSE username and your Handin password. Be sure to choose the correct assignment to hand the files in under, and choose the files you wish to hand in with the file choosers at the bottom. If you need to hand in more files than there are selection boxes, hand them in two (or more) separate batches. For example, if you need to hand in the files file1.c, file2.c, file3.c, file4.c, file5.c, and file6.c, but handin only lets you hand in five files at a time, hand in file1.c through file5.c as one group and file6.c by itself. After each handin you will be shown a list of all of the files you have handed in up to that point.

Checking a previous handin
If ever you want to check the status of a previous handin ("Did I really hand in those files?"), you can go to your class's handin page and choose "Check Status" from the handin choices. After making that choice, filling in your username and password, and choosing an assignment to check up on, click the Submit button at the bottom of the page. You will then be presented with a list of all of the files you have handed in for that particular assignment, along with their sizes and the time/day you handed them in.

Changing your password
Changing your password on occasion can be a good idea. To change your password, choose the "Password" link from the menu on the left. Fill out the "Change user password" form with your username, current password, and the new password you would like. The change will take effect immediately after you submit it, and you will also be sent a piece of email on CSE confirming the change.

Forgotten password
If you forget your password, Handin can send it to you at your CSE email address. To receive your password, choose the "Password" link from the menu on the left and fill out the "Send user password" form with your username. After you submit the form you will receive mail on CSE with your Handin password.
