Initial Student Communication

FACULTY-STUDENT COMMUNICATION

1. Faculty are required to initiate a welcome message to the students using course announcements when their course goes live (no later than 7 days in advance of the course start date).
2. Your message should contain a brief introduction, contact information, and a course schedule or reminder to view the syllabus.
3. You may also provide a brief list of things to do before the first class, an overview of the first week or module, or other helpful guidance.
4. Sending a message through the course shell generates an email to each student registered for the course and lets them know they can now see the course in their list of courses on the LMS.
