# Your Roles

### Your Role & Timelines

#### Step 1

Your first step is to create a syllabus for your PD offering. Sample syllabi and templates are linked below. **As you are developing your syllabi be aware that the University requires 15 seat hours per 1 PD credit hour**. This can be met by stating in person hours or a combination of in person time plus an estimation of time to complete quizzes and/or a final assignment.

**Note -** ITC houses BSU templates and samples and can advise on developing a credit course through BSU but request for credit and instructor approvals for BSU are not handled by ITC.

#### Step 2

Email the syllabus and PD credit request to the ITC. Please include the following details in your email:

1. **Course instructor information**
   1. The instructor must be approved as a UI instructor and be up to date on their FERPA training in order to be listed as the instructor for your course. 
   2. instructors who have not been previously approved will need to send a CV along with their syllabus and send record of completion for their FERPA training (available through Bridge).
   3. If the instructor is a BSU employee they will need to be approved as an affiliate instructor. Please add 4 weeks minimum to the process for affiliate instructor approval. 
2. **Do you need assistance in developing a corresponding canvas course for your credit offering?** 
3. **Important dates for your course**
   1. If your course is following our normal semester offerings ITC will use existing semester dates.
   2. If your course is outside of normal semester offerings please provide: 
      1. Date enrollment should open
      2. Date enrollment should close 
      3. date you want students to begin having access to canvas 
      4. Date you need final assignments due. NOTE that grades are due 3 weeks after the final assignment for your course is due. 

Please allow 24 hours for the ITC to respond to your initial request. The ITC will schedule a meeting with you to further discuss your PD credit needs. Then, your next step is to create and/or compile all of your course content to send to the ITC.

### Timelines:
