Resources for Instructors

New to Carmen?

Blank Carmen course shells are prepared for every course in the Registrar's Master Schedule and are typically available to instructors 6 weeks before the start of the quarter.

To access your course shells:

  1. Go to carmen.osu.edu and login with your OSU Internet Username (lastname.#) and password.

  2. On the Carmen My Home page, look in My Courses for the desired quarter and year and find the your department. If necessary, click the plus (+) to expand the list.

  3. Find your course listing under the department and quarter, and click on the course title to open the Course Home page.

If you can't find your course, check with your department to ensure that you are listed as the instructor of the course with the Registrar's office.

Student Access to Carmen Courses

Students are automatically enrolled in Carmen courses as they register via a nightly data feed from the Registrar. Remember, however, that students can't see your Carmen course site until you activate it. (See Activate Course for instructions.)

OSU Libraries delivers eReserves through Carmen (see OSU Libraries and Carmen for details). In cases where instructors choose not to use Carmen, librarians will activate courses solely for the purpose of delivering eReserve resources to students.
