Faculty & Departments: Certify Courses for Ways
Certify Courses
- You may submit a course for Ways certification at any time. Courses are reviewed on a rolling monthly basis and uploaded to Explore Courses on a rolling basis. If you want a course to appear in Explore Courses for the beginning of Open Enrollment, you must submit the course for review by the quarterly deadline. The deadline for submitting new Autumn quarter courses for academic year 2016-17, is May 10, 2016. Courses currently certified for Ways do not need to be resubmitted.
- The Ways Syllabus Guidelines will help you identify the Waycategory that best fits your course. Most importantly, it spells out the required syllabus elements in a Wayscertified course. The Board highly recommend that you use these guidelines in the development of your Ways-certifiable syllabus.
- Instructions for Submissions will guide you through the registration process using the Ways Course Registration Tool.
- An email notification will be sent to the instructor after your submission has been reviewed. You may also check Explore Courses or wtwd.stanford.edu in the “View/Edit” mode to view the results of the course review.
- Please refer to our FAQs for answers to frequently asked questions regarding course certifications.
