Fall 2023 Course Shells Open July 14th

As we gear up for a new semester, it's time to share some exciting news regarding the availability of course shells and enrollment into Falcon Online courses for Fall 2023 and going forward into 2024. Friendly reminder that Falcon Online shells are generated 45 days prior to the start of the semester. During this period, instructors are enrolled into their specific course shells.

Student enrollments also begin 45 days prior to the start of the semester. Students can see their courses, but cannot access the course until the first day of the semester start date. However, all students can access the Falcon Online home page that has announcements for students and faculty. As an instructor, this is your opportunity to roll over your course and prepare for the upcoming planning week. Upon generation, instructors will be automatically enrolled into their respective course shells. However, it's important to note that if a course shell is not visible, it may be due to the department not releasing it in the schedule for open enrollment or it being a limited access course. Rest assured, the timely availability of course shells will streamline your preparation process.

If you wish to contact your students before classes begin, you can use the Falcon Online course shell to send an email to your class list welcoming students and providing any housekeeping updates such as information about course materials or initial assignments.

The Falcon Online enrollments are updated daily at 7:30 am, 2:30 pm, 9:30 pm, and 2:30 am. As always, if you have questions, contact the Faculty Innovation Center at 386-506-3485 or FIC@daytonastate.edu. Thank you!
