What we need from you:
The first step is to fill out the Service Request Form and send us a complete syllabus. We encourage course directors to come to us as soon as the semester course schedules are available, usually 6-8 weeks before the semester begins, so that we may be of assistance every step of the way, from course set-up to final grades.
