University of Minnesota Copyright Policy: Background and FAQs
The faculty member owns copyright to all their independent academic works, regardless of the form of the course materials or the modality of the course.

Student Learning Outcomes
UMN Morris requires each syllabus to include information about how the course contributes to Program Student Learning Outcomes (PSLOs) and to Campus
Student Learning Outcomes
(CSLOs). Every academic program creates their own Program Student Learning Outcomes (PSLOs) to identify the goals of their major; these are online under the “degree requirements” tab for every major (see the
art history example
). Through academic programs, co-curricular programs, and the general education program, students are guided toward learning that is consistent with the goals stated in the campus mission and Campus Student Learning Outcomes (CSLOs). The inclusion of this information on ALL syllabi is required for accreditation.

UMN Policy:
Mandatory First Day of Attendance
How does this policy apply to online courses?
The policy extends to online courses as well as traditional in-person courses. Students must attend the first class meeting or obtain permission from the faculty member to be absent. For in-person and online remote (synchronous) courses, attendance means the student is physically present for the course. For courses that are delivered online asynchronously, instructors have discretion to indicate on the syllabus the specific action(s) a student would need to take within a specified time period (e.g., posting an online discussion group on academic matters, initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a question about an academic course topic, submitting an assignment, taking a quiz) to be considered as having attended the online course.

Canvas Course Site
UMN Teaching Support:
Set up Your Canvas Course Site
Each semester, empty academic course sites are automatically generated for all active PeopleSoft sections for every course. These sites appear on the Canvas dashboard of the instructors and teaching assistants (TA's) assigned in PeopleSoft to teach those courses. Instructors can build course content from scratch or import content from existing course sites.
Auto-generated course sites are unpublished. Instructors will need to scroll to the bottom of their Dashboard to find these course sites. If you cannot
find your site in Canvas
, verify with your department PeopleSoft scheduler that you are listed as a primary instructor for the course.
Before the semester begins, send an email to your students providing a description of how the course will proceed.
Canvas:
Template for Instructors Email to Send to Students
Tip:Course sites are unpublished
and will not be visible to enrolled students until published.
Instructors
publish
their Canvas sites
. To hide auto-generated course sites on the Canvas dashboard until they are ready to be worked on, follow these
instructions
Help:
If your course site does not appear on your dashboard, reach out to the campus scheduler in the Office of the Registrar to ensure you are assigned as the primary or secondary instructor in PeopleSoft.
Auto-generation of unpublished course sites for upcoming terms take place on the following dates:
Fall term: April 15  |     Spring term: August 1  |  Summer term (including May term): January 1

Your students will be automatically “fetched” into your Canvas course site, however, they will not be able to access the site until you “
publish your site
.”
