Course Development and Planning Resources
- Accessibility Resources and Service provides resources for faculty with tips on teaching for students with learning disabilities and sample language for syllabi.
- Canvas by Instructure is the campus’s main Learning Management System (LMS), providing an online space for courses listed in ConnectCarolina, non-credit training, and other instructional uses. Instructure offers resources on how to take advantage of Canvas’s features to enhance your course. While the LMS Sakai continues to be available for use at the University, it is being phased out; it is recommended that instructors transition to Canvas.

A resource page for faculty provides tips on how to encourage academic honesty in the classroom and how to report violations of the Honor Code.
- The Office for Undergraduate Research provides opportunities for undergraduates to engage in research and mentored scholarship through the Graduate Research Consultant Program, inquiry-based learning, and mentoring opportunities.
- Office of the University Registrar’s page includes the official academic calendars for each semester, including class start and end dates, final exam schedules, and holidays.
