1995 Honda Civic 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

Today I was driving to school and my car just shut off. Luckily I was in the parking lot and pulled in a spot. I turned my car off and tried to start it, and it tried to turn on but did not start. What could be wrong, and if its the alternator can I use a jump start to bring it somewhere or do I have to get it towed?

Do below to determine whether it's fuel or spark problem and get back with some results.

Cranks but no start condition:

Fuel and Spark:
Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
