Forms and Requests for Faculty
Request a Course Enrollment Merge
Canvas Course Enrollment Merge - Please review this information to learn more about which course sections are eligible for this configuration. An enrollment merge only merges course enrollments. Content, student submissions, and grades are not transferred.
Note: Before requesting a merge for a course, please be certain your courses exist in Canvas. The request form may be deactivated during certain periods to support processing requirements. (Tip: Brief Video Tutorial for Adding Multiple Child Courses to Merge Request Form.)
Request a Course Copy
Canvas Course Copy - Reuse of certain content from term to term is part of the typical course preparation process for faculty. These step-by-step instructions provide important details for instructors wanting to complete this process themselves. Included are instructions for requesting assistance from Online@JSU. As a reminder, individuals who wish to copy course content from another instructor's course should review JSU's Intellectual Property policy. Permission from the course owner (primary instructor of the course) must be obtained and documented using the features provided through the dynamic form workflow associated with this request. For course owners/instructors no longer with JSU, an email must be obtained from that individual stating their permission and uploaded as part of this request.
Request Student Access for Incomplete Grade Completion
This process assumes the instructor of the course is in compliance with Procedures and policies prescribed by the Registrar's Office for Incomplete Grades. Upon approval of this request, Online@JSU will configure access in a special section of the Canvas course associated with the course/section and term for which the student originally registered. Requests for periods extending beyond policy parameters will be routed to the Registrar's Office for approval. If you are a JSU employee submitting this request on behalf of the instructor of record, this request will be routed to the instructor of record prior to routing to Online@JSU.
