FACULTY FORMS RESOURCES

The Faculty Resources page from the Design Center website lists common request forms , such as adding users to your course , leaving courses open for Incompletes , the Distance Education Course Application , and requests for Development courses .

The Resources section includes information on Blackboard Ally ( for Accessibility ) , basic course design standards , Blackboard Outcomes , Computer & Browser requirements for Blackboard , links for contacting a designer , and the distance education course development process .

Common Forms include:

Access to Course for Instructor, TA, or

Department Chair: You will need to know the course CRN , your original MUNet ( not vanity email ) , and the MUNet of the person you wish to give access to .

Cross-listing Request: Use this form to combine multiple sections of the same course into one Bb section . You will need to create or copy your course content into the newly created section . You will receive an email when this has been completed , but we cannot create cross - listed sections until the live sections are available ( generally two weeks prior to the start of term ) .

Course Copy Request: This form requests that a designer copy your course content and clean up your course menu for your course.

Distance Education Course Development

Application: Use this form when creating any new Distance Education course that will be solely used for a Distance Education course. These courses must go through a review process prior to being offered (we are aware of the issues with course planning and COVID-19 and have adjusted guidelines, for now. We will resume regular guidelines for new course development once the university can safely resume a majority of face-to-face courses). We require faculty to work with an instructional designer to develop the course unless you are an advanced user. Deadlines for completed courses ready for review are August 15 for courses to be offered in Spring or Summer, and January 15 for courses to be offered in the Fall. Visit the Online Course Development site for more information.

Request a Development Section for a Course: If you would like to work on supplemental components for a face-to-face course, work ahead, or have an additional course Development section for a different term (spring v. summer), use this form. This form is not for a course that is applying to be approved for Distance Education.

Access to Course for Student Incomplete: If you have a student who has officially received an Incomplete for a semester term, use this form to give that student access to a previous course.
