Course Shell Setup

The TLC & OIT are pleased to announce a new process by which faculty will be automatically enrolled in their Canvas shells.  This new process will be piloted in 21WN and will be implemented for 21SP upon success.

• – This process automatically enrolls faculty when a course assignment changes from To Be Announced to a faculty name. The Canvas assignment will occur within 12 hours of the change.
• – Automated assignments won’t occur when they change from faculty to faculty (rather than from To Be Announced to faculty).
• – The TLC will run a daily report to identify faculty changes.
  • – When a change occurs, we will check the course to see if content exists. If it doesn’t, the new faculty will be assigned.
  • –If content does exist, the original faculty will be contacted to see if he/she would like the TLC to back that up.
  • – Once that content is secured elsewhere, we will reset (erase) the course and change the faculty assignment. Therefore, there will never be a case where the new faculty sees the original faculty’s content.

If you need assistance importing content into a newly assigned course shell, please contact us at the above email and phone number.
