Automatic Enrollment in FoxTALE Course Sites
Course sites are automatically created for you
When your academic department sends your course information to the Registrar’s Office, your course is listed in MyGFU. Within 24 hours the Canvas site is automatically created and you are enrolled as the faculty of record in the course site.
Students are automatically enrolled
As students register in MyGFU for your course, they are automatically enrolled in your course site. Enrollments are updated every 15 minutes into Canvas.
Next Step: Publish your course
Even though students are automatically enrolling in your course site, they will not be able to access your site until you publish it. Go to the guide, Publishing the Course, for instructions on how to publish your course.
