Guidelines for student access to previous course materials
To request access to any content (i.e. syllabus, assignment submissions) from a previous course that is stored on Moodle, students must first obtain permission from the instructor. If the instructor is no longer employed by the University, permission must be sought from the Department Chair.
The following steps are taken in this process:
- The student should email the instructor or Department Chair requesting access to the course materials. Indicate in the email, the course number, academic year and semester, and the specific course materials you would like access to.
- Upon approval, the instructor or Department Chair should reach out to itshelp@colgate.edu indicating what permission they have granted, the course number and course materials.
- After receiving the request, ITS will provide the student with the requested materials.
For any inquiries or assistance regarding this process, students can contact itshelp@colgate.edu.
