Access Scenarios for Faculty, Adjunct Faculty, and Others
How do I access courses I am getting ready to teach or prepare for an upcoming course?
Course access is setup when you are assigned to a teach a course section. Course visibility in Canvas takes place 14 days prior to the course start date.
There are some cases in which a professor wishes to see a course prior to the 14-day window (as mentioned above). In such cases there are a few options to prepare for the course.
- Preferred method: The course Lead Faculty has access to the course and therefore can provide you with an .epub file download of the course. For more information, please click here.
- Your Lead Faculty can also request access to prior sections of a course. These requests need to come from Lead Faculty and be submitted to the Help Desk.
- If you need to view the Blueprint version of a course, please contact the Institute at institute@franklin.edu with detailed information about why you are requesting non-editing teacher access to see a Blueprint course.
