I. Course Creation Procedures

A. Official College Academic Courses (listed in course catalog)

  1. Information Services will create Moodle sites for courses in the upcoming quarter on Monday of Week Seven of the current term and enroll instructors with “Teacher” permissions. Creation will exclude instrumental music courses, physical education, and other categories at discretion. No students will be automatically enrolled at this time nor at a later date.
  1. Any instructor may request a Moodle site for their upcoming courses at an earlier time using the Moodle Requests for Imports and Course Creation form or by contacting the Moodle administrator(s). When requesting the creation of a course, please include the following information: Course Number, Section Number, Title, and the quarter the course will be taught. Instructors in instrumental music, physical education, and other categories may manually request courses as well.
  1. Online academic course spaces are created, named, and assigned a Moodle short name for a specific quarter and year and are to be used only for that quarter.
  1. If course content is to be copied from a previously-taught section, the instructor must provide accurate information regarding the course ID of the previously-offered section. If you are copying content from a course developed by another instructor, you must provide the Moodle administrator(s) written permission from that instructor to use his/her content.
  1. Requests for courses may be submitted up to a year in advance of the quarter in which they are to be taught.
  1. Courses are created as they are requested. Course requests submitted during the quarter will be honored.
  1. If multiple instructors will teach a course, only one instructor should request the online course space.

B. Special Courses (not listed in course catalog)

Special courses can be requested at any time by contacting the Moodle administrator. Special course requests include, but are not limited to, research projects, committees, departments, program collaboration and college-recognized student organizations.
