Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” Or so says John Lennon in the lyrics to his song “A Beautiful Boy.” 
No matter how well we plan, things can go wrong. Power outages, extreme weather, family emergencies, Internet service disruptions, health challenges, and technical malfunctions can happen at the most inconvenient times. 
There are several online resources that can help you overcome any such hiccups. In this Assignment, you will identify several university resources that will come in handy as you pursue your academic goals. It also asks you to start the planning process for backup access to these resources and your academic classrooms and work.
