IMPORTANT! The Course Pages page on the intranet will be set to use the same type of syllabus file as was used the previous semester. To determine what type of file is currently being used, visit the course pages index on the intranet first, and click your course syllabus link from last year. The document that downloads or opens is the format that is being used. If you get a “page can’t be found” page, it lets you know what kind of document it is looking for. We encourage all course pages to use a PDF file. If you would like to make a change to a different format, submit a ticket through TDX using the form here.
POSTING A PDF DOCUMENT
- Create the syllabus in Microsoft Word and save it in a safe place such as your network drive or OneDrive.
- Save a copy of the syllabus to your course folder by clicking the File tab and choosing Save As.
- Click Browse to choose the location: R:\Courses\(your course number)\Public_html.
- In the File name field, enter “Syllabus” (without quotation marks). (Do not add any other characters to the name.)
- In the Save as type drop-down list, choose PDF (*.pdf).
- Click Save. Choose “Replace existing file” and click “OK” if a dialog box appears. (NOTE: If you wish to keep a previous version of your syllabus, you should rename it first (such as syllabus_Fall2023.pdf) to prevent overwriting it.
- Test your link on the Course Pages Index on the intranet. If the link opens an old pdf, delete your web browsers history, refresh the course pages page and try the link again. You can also open course pages in an Incognito/InPrivate browsing session or use a different browser. If the correct link does not open, submit a ticket through this form or visit the IT Support Center in AL 207.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
- If your course is not visible in your R:\Courses folder, submit a ticket through to IT Support.
- Dual-listed Courses: Since dual-listed courses have only one course folder, you need to create and maintain the course page in only one location.
