The Preparing to Teach section provides guidance for term preparation, including setting up D2L/syllabus, ordering textbooks, acknowledging contracts, and more. Guidance may change by college, so be sure to communicate with your program chair/leader regarding expectations on timelines for these activities.

Other resources include D2L tutorials and a Searchable Course Schedule to help you find your class.

Remember that you're not in this alone! NLU's support services are here to help. Whether you need a Library Faculty to join your class to discuss proper citations, or a student needs to be connected to Learning Support, your colleagues have your back!
