<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The August Mini and Fall term is quickly approaching. A large percentage,
<u>54%, of Fall courses have not been copied into the eCollege term</u>. If you have not accessed the
<a href="https://apps.tamuc.edu/CourseCopyApp/Admin/Default.aspx">eCollege Course Copy Application</a> to load your online classes, this must be completed right away. The tables below indicate timelines for student population into courses and requesting TA
or GA students be added to a course.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A number of course development tasks are needed to prepare your online course for the first day of the term. Attached is a checklist you will find to be helpful. The Faculty Center is available when you have questions or need assistance.
Projects for Fall are on a first come first serve basis. A number of faculty have been working with the Course Designer and Developers throughout the summer. Let us know how we may assist you.<o:p></o:p></p>
