Create a Change Request

A Change Request can only be created after the instructor has submitted their course for review. If modifications to a submission need to be made, you can send a Change Request to the instructor. You may create multiple Change Requests, each addressing different areas of the submitted information.

Note: Once a Change Request has been sent to the instructor, the submission's status will be Change Requested. In order to progress the submission's workflow, the instructor must resubmit their information and/or all Change Requests must be resolved.

 

  1. For the Syllabus Builder module, click the Create a Change Request button at the top right of the page.
  2. For the Syllabi and Final Exam modules, click the Create a Change Request button at the bottom of the page.
  3. Select the Change Request Target to indicate which area your comments are addressing.
    Note: The Final Exam module does not have Change Request Targets.
  4. Fill out the text box with a detailed description of your request.
  5. Click the Send to Instructor button to submit the Change Request.
