Preparing Your Fall B and Block 2 Courses

Fall B and Block 2 2024 are fast approaching and it will be here before you know it! Here are a few things to consider as you prepare your courses for the upcoming semester.

Please Read!

First day of class - October 14. All courses must be published by the instructor before or on the first day of class.
Early Course Access - Instructors can grant early course access to students in Preview Mode before the first day of class. Students can access course content but cannot participate in the course (assignments/discussions) until October 14.
Course Copy - All faculty can complete their own course copies. However, instructors may also request that Online@JSU complete the course copy.
Review the new Course Copy tutorial for details.

Course Merge: Course merge requests must be submitted three business days before the first day of class. Any merge requests submitted after this date must be approved by the Registrar. Course merges merge course enrollments (instructors and students) but do not transfer content, assignments, student submissions, or student grades. Any merge completed after student submissions have been submitted and graded will destroy all submissions and all grades.

Tips for Expediting Requests

When submitting Course Enrollment Merge, Course Copy, and Special Course Access requests, please first ensure you are entering correct CRN information for the intended term by verifying this information in Banner and/or Canvas. Course section CRNs may be the same in some cases, but often change from term to term. Providing us with the correct CRN for the intended term will help us process your requests much faster. Your cooperation is appreciated as we strive to assist all faculty with these types of requests as efficiently as possible.

Submitting Midterm Grades with Grades to Banner

When grading is open by the Registrar’s Office, grades can be submitted, modified, and resubmitted as many times as needed prior to the deadline. Midterm Grading is currently scheduled to open on Tuesday, October 8, 2024 at 9:00 am.

After loading Grades to Banner, letter grades will be pre-populated in the “Midterm” column based on the course’s grading scheme. Review/Modify grades and click “Submit” to push Midterm grades from Canvas to Banner.
