Pre-planning for Success

How to add additional sections when all sections fill early (Judy)
o A tentative protocol for such situations was drafted for consideration
 Original instructor of filled course section gets one of three
options:
 1) Teach another section themselves,
o If the instructor selects Option 1 and the course is
shorter than a full semester, then the new section
can be scheduled later in the semester
 2) Allow another instructor to teach another section,
o If option 2 is selected, 1) Need to ask all college
Deans and chairs to identify faculty who can serve
in a back-up capacity and 2) Group and/or
individual WebCT trainings can be scheduled for
back-up faculty to teach extra sections
 3) Not allow another instructor to teach another section
o If the instructor selects Option 3, then no new
section will be added
