Spring 25' Canvas Course Shells

​​​​​​​Beginning on December 1, 2024, Faculty who teach in-person, non-medical undergraduate and graduate students will have the option to begin creating individual course shells or request the crosslist of multiple courses. Refer to the Canvas: Request Course Shell Knowledge Base article for information on how to create the Canvas course shell.  Note that course shells are automatically published and are available to students 5 days before the start of the semester

For information on combining multiple sections of the same course, visit Canvas: Crosslist Course Sections.

Communicate With Students
You can make and display course announcements in Canvas, or use our student-directed mailing lists to reach a specific group of students, such as students in a given course or major. These lists are updated 14 days before the first day of the semester. 

We limit the number of emails you can send in a 24-hour period to 500 as part of our anti-spam prevention measures. If you may need to send more emails than this limit allows, you must submit a request in the Rowan Support Portal.

Remote Automated Proctoring Process
The remote proctoring software, Proctorio, is available for online examinations. If an instructor wants to utilize the remote proctoring software in their course section in Canvas, the instructor of record must complete the Rowan Online - Exam Proctoring Request Form 2024-25

Requests for remote automated proctoring for session types day, evening, or weekend will require approval from the department or college responsible for the course. Those departments or colleges will be charged per student, per proctored assessment in each course section. Written approval from the authorized person to approve budget expenses in your department or college should be acquired before submitting this form.

If you have any other questions, contact the Technology Support Center at 856-256-4400, or submit a ticket in the Rowan Support Portal. You can also get answers to common questions in our Knowledge Base and our chatbot, Ask Susan, at any time.
