SCS Courses Website
All SCS courses for the current term are listed online. The purpose of the SCS Courses listing is to have a centralized place where all the currently running courses are listed and linked to the instructors personal course website. It is the instructors responsibility to add their course to the SCS website. You can add your course by logging into the SCS Web Editor using your active SCS Linux Account.

- Step 3 Add your course info
- Check your listing: /courses
Your course can be added weeks or months in advance.
SCS Course Outlines
The SCS staff have developed a way for faculty to generate a course outline. The system will include pertinent information that is already present online, like your personal profile (office hours, room number, email etc.). It will also link to your online course and use necessary information.
To add your course outline:
- Step 1 choose 'Course Outlines'
- Step 2 click NEW
- Step 3 Add your course outline iformation
- Check your listing: course_outline.php
If you have entered course information the online profile will also appear on the main /courses page.
Why should I use this course outline system:
- We will insert university wide policy information automatically with the 'latest' wording. This includes info for the Paul Menton Centre, Medical Certificates, pregnancy, academic integrity policies etc.
- It will generate a printable copy of your course outline
- The department will have a record of your course outline
SCS Course Material
The SCS Course Material page is a central departmental course repository. Once your course material is finalized you can upload your course information as follows:
- Step 1 choose 'Course Material'

- Step 3 Add your course material
- Check your listing: course_material.php
Web Bio: Online Faculty List
