Instructional Design and Delivery: News and Events

Creation of Fall and Summer 2026 Courses in MyClasses

Fall and Summer 2026 courses will be created in MyClasses on April 1, and instructors will be enrolled at the same time. Daily reports will be run to update course, section, and instructor enrollments.

 

If you have multiple sections that need to be combined, please use our MyClasses Combine Sections request located under the MyClasses requests section of the ID&D Support Center. Faculty participating in the Inclusive Access textbook program should request sections be combined at least four weeks prior to the start of the semester.

Summer/Fall Accessibility Tip: Import Specific Content  

If you use Modules, when importing course content from one semester, you can easily clean up your course of old and unused content. Use the select specific content option, instead of all content and select the recommended options:

 

  • Course Settings: Maintains course settings, course navigation, and home page
  • Syllabus Body: Maintains content added to the syllabus page above the course schedule
  • Modules: Maintains use of modules and is the catalyst for importing all linked content (assignments, discussions, quizzes, pages, and files)
  • Assignments: Maintains course assignments, including New Quizzes
  • Discussion Topics: Maintains online discussions
  • External Tools: To ensure any integrations are maintained, including SCORM content and custom navigation items from the Redirect tool
  • Rubrics: Maintains grading rubrics associated with graded activities

 

All other items, such as Pages, Files, and Calendar Events, do not need to be selected if you are using Modules. Modules will automatically import these items if they are included in the module content - thus, a great way to clean up your course!
