Update both the Course Name and Course Code to be specific and easily identifiable. To maintain consistency across our online courses, Fox online classes should follow this format:

  • Name: Course ID - Term - Section (ex. MSOM 3101 - Spring 2025 – Sec. 701)
  • Course Code: Course name - Term - Section (ex. Operations Management - Spring 2025 – Sec. 701)

Once the information is entered, click "Update Course Details" to save.
