Learn the Basics of NYU Classes…And a Few Advanced Moves
NYU Classes is NYU’s learning management system that enhances the teaching and learning experience for students and instructors. Instructors can create course websites where they can post assignments, grades, and other relevant course materials. Students can access these materials, interact with other students, and track course progress.
Instructors
- Course websites are not created automatically. Learn how to set up a course site.
- If you are teaching a class for which you already have created a course site, you can import course content from another site.
- After a class has been created, you have the option to add or remove section rosters from a course.
- You can activate a course site for an upcoming semester two weeks after registration for that semester opens. The current semester will remain available for course site activation throughout the academic term, until two weeks after the final exam period for that term is over.
