The page applies to Department Administrators only.
Introduction
Change Requests allow administrative staff to propose modifications or provide feedback on a submission made by an instructor. The instructor can then make the change and resubmit their information to the department for further review.
Note: Change Requests are only available in the Syllabi and Final Exam modules.
Access Change Requests
- On your Home Page, click the Syllabi or Final Exam tab at the top.
- Click the View button to the right of the desired course.
Create a Change Request
A Change Request can only be created after the instructor has submitted content to you. If modifications to a submission need to be made, you can send a Change Request to the instructor.
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.
- Click Step 1 from the sidebar on the left.
- Click the Create a Change Request button at the bottom of the page.
- If applicable, select the Change Request Target that your comments are addressing.
Note: In the Syllabi module, the Course Experience section is not subject to approval and cannot be the target of a Change Request. - Fill out the text box with a detailed description of your request.
- Click the Send to Instructor button to submit the Change Request.
