Start-of-Term Procedures

Review LCC's LMS Production Calendar to see when faculty get access and when students are enrolled into new courses (Add it to your calendar by clicking Google Calendar at the bottom right of the page). Course shells for the upcoming term are typically created and made available to instructors ~week 6 of the current term. Two messages are posted in the instructor support forum and emailed each term. Student enrollments begin syncing with our student information system (SIS/Banner) 1-week prior to the start of the term.

A System Alerts Calendar (scheduled downtime) is automatically synced to course calendars inside of Moodle.
