Spring/Summer 2024 course shells expiring October 2nd

Spring/Summer 2024 course shells will expire on October 2nd. Course shells are set to end after the last appeals date for that term.

On the end date:

• On the Shell End Date, there is a 24-hour processing period, during which the previous term's course shells may be unavailable. This is temporary.
• Instructors will be switched to a read-only role called Instructor (RO), which will be retained for 2 years. This allows for ongoing (read-only) reference to the shell and some of the student activity data and grades*.  This also makes it possible for the instructor to request a copy of that shell within 2 years, if they will be teaching the class again, and wish to reuse materials.
• All other users will lose access to the shell.
  
• New users cannot be added to course shells after they have ended.

*Please note: Certain features of D2L will only apply to users who are currently 'active' in the course shell. For example, you cannot email students from a D2L shell and you cannot view the students' full Progress results if those students don't currently have access to the shell.

If you require a course shell extension to finalize INC grades, and you hold the instructor role in the shell, please email courses@torontomu.ca and include the course shell details (shell code, course code, section numbers(s)) and the reason for the extension. If you're not sure how to find the shell code for your course, please view our instructions.
