Combine Course Request Form
This form will allow you to: combine
multiple sections into one course site
and undo a
combine request by section.
Steps to complete BEFORE combining your course site.
- Complete the Activate Your Course(s) Form.
- Request your assignment to ALL sections you are responsible for teaching.
- Wait 1-2 business days for your affiliation
as instructor to be processed.
- Combined sections may be configured in one of two ways using Online@UT:
- Single Course Site — The enrollments
from all section numbers listed are added to one manually-generated
course site. The other sections are then disabled to
avoid confusion for the students. We do not recommend
attempting to use the gradebook in this type of course
if the enrollment is over 100 students.
- Lecture / Lab — The enrollments
from all section numbers listed are added to one manually
- generated course site. This
site is used to deliver consistent content to all students.
The auto-generated section number sites are used for grading and lab communications.
It is easier to manage grades with this configuration for course enrollments of 100 or more.
- Please call ITC at 865-974-9670
or use the Online@UT contact form
for assistance with questions or comments.

Delete Course Request Form
To help ITC maintain an efficient and
robust system, we ask that instructors delete old courses that
are no longer referenced or necessary. By completing this form,
you are requesting that a course be completely deleted from
the system. This includes all content, grades, student work,
etc. Deleted courses CANNOT be retrieved without a $150
cost to the instructor's department and can ONLY be retrieved within one semester after the
deletion process.
Instructions on filling out the Delete Request Form.
- Click on "Delete your course
site(s) now" and login with your
NetID and password. You will be authenticated against LDAP and the
CMS Certification Database.
- ALL course sites in which you are an INSTRUCTOR will be listed. Check the boxes for
each course you want deleted.
- Click Submit Request.
- A Delete Courses Receipt will
indicate the courses you have requested for deletion,
and additional instructors within the courses.
- Once the form has been submitted:
- An email is sent to all
instructors for each course delete request.
- Courses will be automatically
DELETED from Online@UT 10 calendar days from the
date of the request.
- Recommendations:
- Export all gradebooks from courses marked
for deletion.

associated with the course prior to deletion request.
If you want to keep the course but remove it from the My Courses
List temporarily, follow these instructions.
How to temporarily remove courses from My Course List.

list, but maintain your ability to access it in the
future, uncheck the box in the first column.

Custom Course Site Request Form
You may request to have a course site created manually for the following reasons:
- To develop course content prior to a
section number being available
- To provide an environment in
which students may explore the online teaching and collaboration
process without affecting an official
course site
- To prepare a site for tenure review purposes
When requesting a manually-generated custom course site there are a few things
to remember:
- The manually generated custom course site WILL NOT
automatically Drop / Add students. YOU will have to manually Drop / Add students in this course site.
- The University Course Roster is NOT activated
for these sites.
- YOU need to make the course available / unavailable for students.
