Only the director, department chair, or program coordinator who oversees a course can request that additional staff or faculty members be enrolled in a course. When additional staff or faculty are requested, the requestor will be asked to identify why the enrollment is needed, and how it aligns with the academic interests of the students who are enrolled in the course.

Some instructors choose to utilize digital learning materials in their courses.
