Preparing for a new semester
-
Publish your courses in Canvas
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 Students cannot see unpublished courses and content.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 semester registration are automatically loaded into the Canvas course shell.

Tips
- Publish: How do I publish a course (canvaslms.com)?
- Copy a Canvas course or import elements: This is how you copy a course or import elements (canvaslms.com).
- Inform: You can create an announcement in Canvas (canvaslms.com) to share with users within your course - even if content is not finished yet.
-
Approve your reading list
Do you want your students to access your reading list through Canvas and online? It is necessary that you approve your reading list.
-
Lecture schedules
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 students user number in the browser window.

Help your students during the semester start period
Students must remember a lot. Here are the most important things to keep in mind.
-
Semester registration: It is important to complete the semester registration by using Studentweb (student.oslomet.no). New students will have to activate their user account in addition to that (student.oslomet.no).
-
After the semester registration is completed, current students will get access
-
Their personal lecture schedule (if registered 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 semester registration.
-
-
Semester fee: The semester fee (student.oslomet.no) will be accessible in Studentweb as well.
-
Student-ID: Students get their digital student-ID (student.oslomet.no) after the semester registration is completed and the semester fee is paid.
-
Student card: This is how students obtain and use a student card (student.oslomet.no).

Guide your students
Ask your students to contact the information centre (student.oslomet.no) if they have questions that are not related to your study program.
