This page discusses the steps to creating a new Sakai site if you're not yet identified by Brock's Timetable as Instructor of a course. Performing these steps will allow you to begin configuring your course site early with the option of later adding rosters of students.

Please note:

  • Most members of Brock faculty or staff are able to create sites on demand, though only instructors of courses are able to include student rosters
  • Information about creating course sites for those known to be instructing a course are available at Create a new course site
  • Sakai receives course and enrollment updates several times daily from Brock's central records. The most up-to-date course information is normally available from Brock's course Timetables
