Publishing Course Profiles

Pathways for Publishing Course Profiles on the Web:*

Converting an existing Course Outline to a Course Profile**

* Course Profiles refer to the web-based documents intended to provide course information to persons interested in attending the university or engaged in course selection. They are distinct from official course outlines or syllabi which individual instructors distribute to students already enrolled in a course offering. Course profiles will be directly accessible from the online calendar in the Registrar's webspace.

** Course Profiles can be created either by converting an existing course outline, or as a totally new document. For more information on the latter, see Creating a New Course Profile.
