# Connecting to Your Class Folder

Before you begin working in Audition, you'll need to connect to your class folder. Your project folder (and all audio files related to your project) will live in this location.

Two methods for connecting to your class folder are listed below (you only need to use one of them.) 

### Link to class folders

1. [Click here to connect to your class folder](smb://ad.uwm.edu/Shares/_U_LS/Courses/JAMS) using a JAMS Lab or CCL Mac.
2. Your browser will ask if you would like to proceed. Click the affirmative option (**Open Finder**, **Yes**, **Launch Application**, etc.)
3. A dialog box will appear. Enter your ePanther password and click **Connect**. The **JAMS drive** will appear on your **Desktop**.
4. [Navigate to your class folder](https://jjloomis.gitbook.io/file-and-folder-management-mac-os-edition/navigating-folder-tree).

### Manually enter server address

1. Click the **Desktop** to enter **Finder** mode.
2. Click **Go** on the menu bar and choose **Connect to Server**.
3. In the Server Address field, copy and paste the following string (be sure to copy the entire string): \
   \
   `smb://ad.uwm.edu/Shares/_U_LS/Courses/JAMS`<br>
4. Click **Connect**.
5. A dialog box will appear. Click **Connect**. The **JAMS drive** will appear on your **Desktop**.
