- Check the Directory of Classes to make sure your course info is accurate.
- Get familiar with your classroom location, at least one week before class begins (campus map).

- Upload your syllabus in Canvas (how to upload your syllabus).
- Complete the "Textbook" link in your course site (how to submit your textbooks).
- Add Library Reserves to your Canvas course site (how to add library reserves).
- Need help with printing/copying, class materials, name cards, and more? Just ask the CUSPS Helpdesk!
