Faculty and instructional staff, getting prepared for a new semester is a big challenge. Launching your Learn@UW course site can be easy if you keep in mind the following tips:

1. Be sure to ACTIVATE your Learn@UW course

Students cannot see your Learn@UW site unless you set it to "Active". Here's how:
  • Click "Edit Course" in your Learn@UW course
  • Click "Course Offering Information"
  • Check the box next to "Course is Active"
  • Click "SAVE"
For more detailed steps, see this illustrated guide.

2. Why isn't my roster updated in Learn@UW?
Good question. Rosters in Learn@UW are typically updated nightly. However, on some nights roster-updating is suspended due to technical maintenance (we need to get work done on the system prior to classes starting) or holidays. Always check the Faculty Center within My UW for the most accurate course roster.

3. I have a lot of files to post in my Learn@UW course. Is there a quick way to do this?
Yes! Check out this article to find out how.

Best wishes for a wonderful new semester!
