Web Enhanced Request Form
Course shells are created upon request from the course instructor each semester. Usage
of these course environments requires clearance from the GSU Office of Distance Learning.
The following course management policies apply:
- Web enhanced courses will be created approximately one month before the beginning
of the term.
- Online courses will be created one semester prior to the course start date.
- Students will be moved to courses approximately one week before the beginning of the
semester. It is the responsibility of the instructor to notify the ODL of any course
assignment changes after that date.
- The ODL, along with assistance from the instructor, bears primary responsibility for
the
orientation and training of students on the use of Canvas.
- Unless otherwise notified, ODL staff will remove courses from the system two weeks
after the end of the semester.
- It is the instructor's responsibility to create an archive file for any course material
that
they wish to re-use in a later course. See: Archiving Courses for details.
Use the following form to request a setup for a special course or for use by a noninstructional

know the cartridge number, enter it in the space provided below. If you need assistance
in acquiring or installing the cartridge, enter "help needed" in that field and a
