Online Classes
If your class is online, then by definition it does not have a standard meeting pattern of days and times. Please be aware of this if you schedule live videos. Try to have options for "attending" the live video or make sure they are recorded for anyone to see. We are already getting emails from the DRC about accommodations, and the easiest thing for them is if everything is recorded, and available any time.
Course Outcomes
Teach to the official outcomes of the class you were hired to teach. Course outcomes can be found here. Additionally, please try to stress those course outcomes and their importance during the semester, and tie assignments directly to them.
Canvas Commons
We've begun sharing courses for anyone to use in Canvas Commons. Log in to Canvas, click the Commons link on the side, and then search for "CSN Art Program Courses". You'll see some classes that you could preview, look through, or even import into your own Canvas shell.
Make Sure Your Syllabus is Bulletproof!
Here's a syllabus template that contains all known ancillary information the college requests that we add. Write your own class policies for attendance, late work, medical excuses, etc.
THIS WILL BE UPDATED BEFORE SEMESTER STARTS
Check your CSN email
All college related correspondence will be conducted through your CSN email. If Marcha, myself, or others need to contact you, we will do so through your CSN email. Additionally, the college may be contacting you regarding your contracts, required training, VACCINATIONS, or various other important business. Please check your CSN email often.
Contracts
All contracts are completed through Workday. When your contract is ready you will get an email telling you to login to Workday and approve your contract in your inbox. See the document below for instructions on how to do this. Marcha does not print out or have you sign contracts anymore. It’s all done through Workday.
UNLV and CSN
Let Sean know if you are also teaching at NSC/UNLV sooner rather than later.

The scheduling people just roll the schedules Fall -> Fall and Spring -> Spring. Email Sean if there's chnages needed.

Art Gallery News
As usual, please make use of the Art Gallery in any and all of your classes. Jeff sends emails throughout the semester containing news, dates, events, etc relating to the gallery, or you can check out the website here - https://www.csn.edu/artgallery.
Promote your events
If you are a part of anything art related and would like to promote it on Facebook, please contact either Jeff or myself. Our Facebook page is up to nearly 1300 followers, and is followed by some of the higher-ups at the college. Promoting the cultural events and activities of our staff does wonders to ensure that the college administration sees the strength of our program.
