Using the Request System
The “Request System” tab is located inside of the MyGateway course management system. Use this feature to request course combinations and copies, as well as additions/changes to an instructor’s course listings.

Copy Requst (MS Word doc) - Content developed in a previous MyGateway course can be copied into a current or future class site with this tool. All material will be copied except users and assessments.
Instructors can import their own backup of a course which can expedite the process of getting needed course materials loaded quickly. This can be done through the course options of the control panel in the requested course.

Combo Request (MS Word doc) - Courses that have multiple sections or instructors teaching courses with the same content can combine them into one MyGateway course.
Processing a combination will immediately unenroll all instructors and students. The next business day after the users have been unenrolled, they will be re-enrolled in the parent course. Keep in mind that any assessments recorded for users under the child courses before the combination was processed will be lost and cannot be recovered.
It is suggested that course combinations be made as early in the semester as possible to reduce confusion and eliminate any future problems with lost assessments.
Please double check all courses before submitting a combination so as to not erase any assessments of another course.

Instructor Assignment (MS Word doc) - Instructors can request to be added to an additional course. Instructors can also request another MyGateway user to be added to a course.
Keep in mind that any user added through this function will be an instructor and have full control over the content and assessment area of a course.
Also, instructors can manually add other MyGateway users themselves from within a course they are already listed as instructor on. To do this, access the Control Panel of the course and click on the "Enroll User" button. Users are automatically enrolled as students so the instructor has to then use the "List/Modify Users" button and change the roll to instructor.
If you are unsure as to whether an instructor is already listed on the course, use the lookup function of this button and it will display all active instructors listed on the course.

Request Organization (MS Word doc) - Official campus groups, such as student clubs or faculty committees, can request an organization site in which to communicate to fellow group members. These sites are similar to a regular course site, but appear under the My Organizations area.
MyGateway policy states that these sites must be requested by the faculty or staff advisor on record.
