| *Note: The course request for the new term depends on Mosaic data feed and the preparation for the data exchange with Avenue. The target time frame for Spring/Summer term is the end of February and for Fall/Winter term is the end of June. Should instructors require earlier access to prepare their courses, we usually recommend to utilize a sandbox course shell for preparing their courses. When the new term course shell is ready, just simply export the sandbox using the import/export/copy components tool, and import into the new course shell. | *Note: The course request for the new term depends on Mosaic data feed and the preparation for the data exchange with Avenue.
