Faculty Request Forms

Request a Test Course Shell 
Use this form to request a test course shell in WyoCourses. A test shell functions identically to a normal course in WyoCourses, but has no student enrollments and no start or end dates. You can use test shells to create courses in advance and export them later, test out different features, or even import current courses and make changes without editing your main course shell. You may request additional instructors be added to your shell with the Teacher, GA, or TA role.  Please note that test shells are for testing purposes only and cannot be published.                                                                                             

Request Additional Users in a Test Course Shell

 

User has a UW Account

To request people with UW Accounts be added to your test shell, please use this form.

 

User does not have a UW Account

To request people without a UW account be added into your test shell, please download the account creation form and the enrollment form, fill them out completely, and email them to wyocourses@uwyo.edu to be processed. 

Once the account is created, you will need to provide the person the password you set in this file, as well as a link to the login page with instructions to choose "I DO NOT have a UW username" to login.

Delete a Test Course Shell
Use this form to request that a TEST course shell that you used in the past be deleted.

Request a Blueprint Course
Use this form to request a Blueprint course in WyoCourses. More information about managing courses tied to blueprint shells can be found in the Canvas guides. 

Request an Incomplete Section
Use this form to request a course section be set up for a student who has taken an Incomplete and needs to finish the course. You and the student will be enrolled in a special section in the course that will make the course behave as if it is active again. You will have access to all course materials, but you may have to reconfigure assignment due dates if you want the student to be able to submit assignments through WyoCourses.

 

Request Course Content be Cleared/Reset
Use this form to request that the content or material in your course be reset/cleared. This means the content in your course will be deleted. This will make your course an empty WyoCourses shell. NOTE: This is for current semester course shells or future semester course shells ONLY.

Request a Course Size Increase
Use this form to request additional storage space in a course shell. Please note that this form is for current WyoCourses shells, and you will need to request a course size increase each semester if needed.
 
Note that this form is not for WyoGroups shells. There is a separate form located on WyoGroups to request extra space in a WyoGroups shell.

Request a Combined (Crosslisted) Course

Use this form to request multiple course shells be combined (like they were crosslisted) into one course shell in WyoCourses. This will cause all combined sections to be in one course shell to view the same content.  Users will still be divided into sections based off of their original course, but will share a common shell in WyoCourses.
Please Note: If you combine courses into one course shell after you've assigned/graded assignments or quizzes in the semester, the submissions and grades will not copy over to the combined course shell. You will either need to download the gradebook before making this request and then enter the grades in the combined shell, or you will need to have the students resubmit assignments.

Request Concluded Course Access
Use this form to provide another instructor with access to a course shell from a prior semester. This will allow them to view how your course was set up, including modules, assignments, and discussions. Please note this form is not intended for adding instructors to courses in the current semester. Those instructors should be added through the WyoCourses Supplemental Access page in WyoRecords. 

Request a Previous Course be reopened
Use this form to request a course from the previous semester be reopened. You can only request that courses from the previous semester be reopened. For example, if the current semester is Summer 2025, then only Spring 2025 courses can be reopened.
