BOLT Course Combine Request for 2019 Fall Available

If you teach multiple sections of the same course and want to combine the sections in BOLT for 2019 Fall, the BOLT Combined Request tab in MyHusky is now available. If you want to combine the sections, please visit the Faculty Center in MyHusky and click the BOLT Combined Request tab and complete the form. For directions, check out the Course Combine Request widget on the BOLT My Home page.

 

DEADLINE for course combine request for Fall: June 4, 2019

 

NOTE: Requests must be completed by the deadline. After the deadline, requests will be accepted only if there is a schedule change, new instructor hire, or late contract/assignments.

 

Lecture/Lab/Clinical

If you teach a lecture course with multiple lab or clinical sections but don’t have access to all sections in MyHusky, please submit a request by emailing us at imdc@bloomu.edu. Please be sure to include the course and ALL sections that should be combined.

 

Publisher Integrations

If you are using publisher integrations in your course, there is no longer a need to request them. You now have the ability to choose homepages for the McGraw-Hill Connect or Pearson MyLabs & Mastering integrations, and to use Course Builder to add Cengage or TestOut. We recommend working with your publisher rep to help set up your materials on the publisher end, and connect the BOLT course with your publisher access once courses are available in June.

 

Spring Ahead with Zoom, Part 2

Just an early heads up that one of our staff at the IMDC will be offering training sessions on Zoom (https://bloomu.zoom.us) this summer. Please stay tuned! Details about that and other trainings will be in an upcoming BOLT Bulletin!

 

Thank you,

Chaya, Jared, and the IMDC Staff
