An eConestoga course shell will be built automatically for all full-time courses, beginning about six weeks before the start of any given semester. Course shells are not built automatically for CE courses, but any CE instructor who wishes to use eConestoga can request a shell through the Employee Portal.

Request a CE course shell

  1. Log into the Employee Portal and open the Faculty tab.
  2. Click Class Lists and select the applicable semester (the newest semester in the system is selected by default).
  3. You will see a table with a row for each section you are teaching. In the “eConestoga Course” column, check the box for any course section(s) you wish to have set up in eConestoga.
  4. An example showing an instructor flagging a section of COMP1234 - Basic Computers by checking the box in the eConestoga Course column
  5. The course will be created the following morning, and will automatically be added to your eConestoga account.

The newly-created course will be created empty, but you can manually copy content into the course from a previous semester's course shell.
