Getting your Course Site
The course sites are created in July but hidden from students. If you do not see your course site on eClass, please reach out to the appropriate contact to grant you access:
- Full-time, CLA and Adjunct Faculty – Office of the Associate Dean at associatedean@osgoode.yorku.ca
- Graduate Student RA – Graduate studies at gradlaw@osgoode.yorku.ca
- Full-time RAs – Contact the course director for them or their Faculty Assistant to add to the course site as instructor support
Requesting a Merged Site
If you are teaching a course with multiple sections that needs to be merged into one eClass site, complete the Merge Multiple Sections form to request the merged site.
Requesting Program Sites
eClass course sites can also be used for programs or other activities that can make use of some of the features available in eClass. A program site does not have an associated academic course code.
Fill out an eClass Program Site Request to request a program site.
Granting Students Access
Students who are enrolled in a course will automatically have access to their course sites.
- You will need to make your site visible to students
- If your site is visible, and a student cannot access it, advise the student to speak with their respective student services office to confirm their enrolment status.
Setting up Cross-listed Sites
If you’re teaching a cross-listed course, e-mail help@osgoode.yorku.ca with the following information for both courses, and we will ensure students from both courses will have access to your course site:
- Course Title
- Course Code & Number
- Course Term
Granting Special Access to Course Sites
To grant access to people who are not enrolled in your course, grant them access from the Participants section of your course site.
