The MSU LON-CAPA support team has adopted a help request tracking system to help manage the support needs of the LON-CAPA community.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ-O-Matic Help system

The FAQ-O-Matic is a compendium of answers provided to common questions asked by users of LON-CAPA over the past couple of years. Answers are organized in topic folders and subfolders. The FAQ-O-Matic is a community resource, to which LON-CAPA users may contribute their own answers to questions they themselves are commonly asked about LON-CAPA.
