Preparing for a new semester

You must publish a course in order to that students can access the course in Canvas, including the reading list. Students cannot see unpublished courses and content.  Students who have completed their semesterregistration are automatically loaded into the Canvas course shell.

Tips

• Publish: How do I publish a course? 
• Copy a Canvas course or import elements: This is how you do it.
• Inform: You can create an announcement in Canvas to share with users within your course - even if content is not finished yet. How can I create an announcement? 

Approve your reading list

Do you want that your students can access your reading list through Canvas and online? It is necessary that you approve your reading list.

Find more information about approving reading lists.

Lecture schedules should reflect the reality of all teaching activity. In addition to this, the timetable should also reflect the activities of the start of study period, such as calls. It is therefore important that students find all information about time and place only in the schedule - and not elsewhere!

• Current students will find their individual schedules on student.oslomet.no. The schedule will be accessible after the student has completed the registration for the new semester.

• If you want to check how the schedule looks like for one of your students, use https://student.oslomet.no/timeplan/-/timeplan/s235861 and change the studentnumber in the browser window.

Students must remember a lot. Here are the most important things to keep in mind.

• Semesterregistration: It is important to complete the semesterregistration by using StudentWeb. New students will have to activate their user account in addition to that.

• After the semesterregistration is completed, current students will get access 

  • Their personal lecture schedule (if registreret in groups)

  • Their courses in Canvas (after 2 hours, if published by you)

  • Their reading list throughout the canvas course (after 2 hours, if published by you)

  • For new students  the access listed above is given 24 hours after they have completed the semesterregistration. 

• Semester fee: The semester fee will be accessible in Studentweb as well.

• Student-ID: Students get their digital student-ID after the semesterregistration is completed and the semester fee is paid.

• Student card: This is how students obtain and use a student card.

Ask your students to contact the information centre if there is anything you do not know about.
