    How to Sync a Course to the LMS

    September 13th, 2024

    The Registrar department syncs courses to the LMS prior to every term. The date must be confirmed with the eLearning department prior to syncing courses.

    Note: Courses sync to the LMS in the format: CourseCode.CourseSection.Term.Campus. Theses fields cannot be "updated" after the course syncs. If a mistake has been made in Course code, section, term or campus, a new course section will need to be used.

    Note: Courses automatically sync to CourseKey two weeks prior to the class start date. Please notify the SIS Admin (Becki Sawyer) if there is an update to the Delivery Method after this date.

    Step 1: Navigating to the Class Schedule

    Navigate to Class Scheduling tile>Select Campus>Select Term>Select Apply Filters.

     
     

     

    Step 2: Updating Extract Status

    Once you have selected the correct course, navigate to the Documents & LMS Options tile. Select the correct LMS vendor (Blackboard or Moodlerooms). Use the Extract Status drop-down menu to make the course “Ready” and Save.

    Note: When selecting the Moodlerooms vendor, the extract status will update to “Processed” after it syncs. When selecting the “Blackboard” vendor, the extract status will not change, it will remain as “Ready” after it syncs.

     
     

     

     

    Follow the same steps if a course needs to be re-synced to the LMS.

    Note: Possible reasons to re-sync a course include: Course is not displaying in LMS, update to the Instructor field, update to the Schedule fields.
