2016Fall Course Combine Deadline

If you would like to combine courses for the 2016 Fall semester, please complete the BOLT Combine Course Request Form via the Faculty Center in MyHusky (PeopleSoft). Once you access the Faculty Center, you will find a tab titled 'BOLT Combined Request'.

For directions on how to do this, you can watch the Course Combine Request Video Tutorial or view the Course Combine Request Documentation PDF.



Deadline: June 1^st, 2016


NOTE: Requests must still be completed by the given deadline. Requests after the deadline will only be accepted if there is a schedule change or new instructor hire.



Lecture/Lab Sections Reminder: If you teach a lecture course with multiple labs but do not have access to all lab sections, submit a request to Chaya Merrell by email. For more information, please see the Semester Start Information module in the BOLT Help Course.




What is a combined course?
A combined course combines several sections into one course offering in BOLT.


What are the benefits of combining my course sections?
If you are teaching several sections of the same course, you may want to combine the sections into one larger course offering in BOLT. BOLT allows instructors to filter views and tools by section and release content to specific sections, so you can manage all your sections in one course offering rather than maintaining three or four different courses in BOLT. This can save you time and make managing your sections easier.


If I don’t combine my courses can I request to combine them later?
No. We only combine courses instructors have requested combined by the deadline. The only late requests we accommodate are late assignments or contracts and schedule changes. We do not combine active courses after the semester starts unless there are special circumstances.


If I combine my course sections, can I split them later?
No. We do not separate combined courses once the semester begins unless there is an assignment change from the department or other special circumstances.
