1. Start early. Don’t wait until the last minute to request a Moodle space or a Course Rollover.

2. Know your course title and number. Courses use the following naming convention:

• PROGRAM / COURSE# / SEMESTER & YEAR / Course Name
• For example: IPOL 8555 SP10 Environmental Law
• Look course info up online to help expedite the process: http://go.miis.edu/courses

• You must specifically request the course you want rolled over in the ‘Reasons’ field. Reasons like, “I taught this last year and will teach it again this year” does not translate as a rollover, and will be treated as a new course request.
