BY REQUEST
Instructors would've needed to request the course shell themselves using the Start a New Course tool. Once requested, it will be created and available to the instructor.
For some departments, staff would've requested these courses on behalf of instructors to assist with the course setup or on-boarding.
In some cases, instructors cannot request their course shell because it was already requested/claimed by another individual. The instructor would've needed to contact IT Services to reclaim it.
CROSS-LISTING
Instructors can choose to cross-list their courses using the Start a New Course tool if their courses haven't already been requested/claimed.
Alternatively, instructors can contact IT Services to cross-list their course.

AUTOMATIC
Credit course shells no longer need to be requested. Credit course shells will automatically appear on the Canvas Dashboard for instructors one semester prior to the start of class.
For example, if an instructor is assigned to teach a course in Spring 2026, their course shell will be automatically be created and assigned to them at the beginning of September 2025.
BY REQUEST
The Start a New Course tool remains available along with all of its features.
For departments who requested courses on behalf of instructors, they may continue to request course shells ahead of time to assist instructors.
As before, course shells can be requested two semesters prior to the start of class.
CROSS-LISTING
Instructors will now need to contact IT Services to cross-list their course.
For each of the courses instructors wish to cross-list, have the courses on-hand or create them using the Start a New Course tool. Then, request IT Services to combine them by submitting a ticket to Canvas - Request Help.
