Important 2016 Spring D2L Announcement
Attention faculty using D2L for Spring 2016 courses: Spring courses have been loaded into D2L. Please let Anne know as soon as
possible if you would like multiple sections of your Spring courses combined into one course in D2L.
SB: Yellow Jackets Conclude
Non‐traditional Season
The term used by D2L is “mapping” them together. As an example, a request could include courses such as: SPED 431 B601 & B603
being mapped as SPED 431 B601 B603 SPED 431/531 B601 & B603 being mapped as SPED 431 531 B601 B603 ENGL 101 B001 & B002 &
B003 being mapped as ENGL 101 B001 B002 B003 Also, if you have cross‐listed courses to be mapped together, please let us know.
Mapping will begin on October 5 and we have until 3:00pm October 22 to complete it. Once mapped the courses will be available to
you for editing early the next day. Therefore, the sooner they are mapped, the quicker you will have access to them. All courses not
previously released will be available for you to edit by the early morning on October 24.
Rodeo: BHSU Showed
Improvement at Triton and
Cyclone Stampede
Mapping can still be done after the courses are released, but extra time and steps are involved because the courses must be removed
from the Learning Environment, mapped, and then released again—which can take up to 24 hours before you again have access. If you
do not want a course mapped, but would like access to it before October 24, just let us know by email. We do not map courses unless
requested by the instructor. If you need course materials from a previous semester copied to a 2016SU course, please let Anne or me
know. It generally only takes a few minutes to do this. It is very helpful and more efficient for us if you specify your courses by
Department, Course Number, and Section Number when contacting us for either mapping or copying. For example: “Copy SPED 431
B601 from Spring 2015 into my SPED 431 B603.” Contact information: Anne Stevens Anne.Stevens@bhsu.edu Ph. 6064 Terry Hupp

were very impressed with the creativity, school spirit and extra efforts that folks put into this year’s decorations. From the
interactive line‐dancing at the International and Global Relations office, to the students’ wanted posters and covered wagon at
Student Financial Services or the homemade treats at the Registrar’s Swarm Stables, our school spirit and Yellow Jacket pride was a
winner at every office. However, for this competition, this year’s winner is the Registrar’s Office! Congratulations and thanks so much
for the yummy cookies! Be sure to check out some of the photos on Facebook here.
