In general, course copy will begin four (4) weeks prior to the start of the subterm, and it will continue until enrollment for the subterm has closed. Due to this course copy timeline, Subject Matter Experts should be aware of the relevant deadlines for primary course shell updates. The Office of Online Education will give each online faculty member access to the assigned online course sections in the LMS two (2) weeks prior to the start of the subterm. This gives faculty time to report any issues that need to be fixed in the course before students gain access. Students will gain access five (5) days before the start of the subterm.
