Once you have an DE teaching assignment, you may be interested to know more about class scheduling procedures.

Some important things to keep in mind:

Class scheduling is done in collaboration between each department, dean, and the Office of Instruction
DE classes sometimes need to have notes in the class schedule (SURF) to ensure that students understand special circumstances such as proctoring or expectations for online readiness. These notes are prepared by each department; talk to your department chair if you are unsure about whether your DE class(es) should be listed with a note and what it should say. Most departments have standardized language for most DE class notes.
Your Canvas course shell will be automatically created and made available for you to begin development several months prior to the semester; the roster will be automatically populated with students.
If you wish to begin developing a Canvas class before the course shell is available, you may request a Sandbox course and later copy from the sandbox into the actual course shell once it has been created.
If it is necessary to cancel or reassign a class, the originally assigned faculty member will lose access to the Canvas shell which they may have been working on. Deans and department chairs should give faculty the opportunity to save and remove material before the change occurs. If this should ever happen to you and you did not have an opportunity to copy out or export the course, contact Karen Turpin to regain access to the material.
