ANNOUNCEMENTS
Fall course spaces: These spaces will be open to students on Monday, August 16. Please email help@support.ischool.illinois.edu if you have any questions or concerns.
Moodle/Canvas consultations: The ITD team is available for consultations to help with course design/set up, gradebook, etc. Please contact the Help Desk to set up a consultation.
Sponsored Programs Administration: Beginning with the current fiscal year, SPA will begin monitoring late submissions and making note of which units/departments are routinely late. Please remember SPA must receive final proposals four business days prior to the sponsor deadline. Late submissions could mean proposals may likely NOT receive a full review. iSchool faculty are expected to be good research community citizens and abide by the policy to avoid any complications that might arise from consistently late submissions by the School as a whole. If you have any questions about SPA submission deadlines, please contact Research Services.
