Faculty Requests
Faculty can make the following requests here :
A course section is set up to capture student rosters from the PeopleSoft system. If your course is listed in PeopleSoft we recommend that you request a course section.
Development Section Request
A development section allows you to create a prototype of your course and become familiar with BLS Vista’s features and tools. If your course is not currently listed in the PeopleSoft system, we recommend that your request a development site. Faculty may request that a development site be created at any time. It is not possible to enroll students into development sites however a development site can be copied to the current or next semester course site upon request.
