Create and publish a new course memo with the About course template

Log in to the administration tool

You log in to the About course administration tool by searching for the course you want to create a course memo for, either through the Course and programme directory, Searche course  or through a link in your Personal menu. Click on the link "Administer About course". Click on the "Create, publish" button in the "Course memo" box. You will then end up on the page "Choose course offering".

Create and publish course memo

1. Choose course offering (step 1 of 3)

Start by choosing which course offering your course memo should apply for. Choose course offering by choosing semester and then mark the administrative course instances that are included in the course offering. Usually, it is only one administrative course instance, but in many cases the course offering consists of two administrative course instances, e.g. one for degree programme students and one for students taking continuing professional education courses. Administrative course instances that already have an existing draft or a published course memo are not shown among elective administrative course instances. If there is a saved draft, you can also choose to continue editing this.

Select an empty template or copy a previous course memo (continuing step 1 of 3)

After you have chosen the administrative course instance(s), you must choose between starting from an empty KTH course memo template or a copy of a course memo from a previous course offering. For both alternatives, correct and updated content from the course syllabus and contacts will be retrieved from Kopps. Mark your selection and click "Edit".

2. Edit course memo (step 2 of 3)

Start by clicking on the link "Introduction and instructions" and read the information under "Get started quickly". More information about the different headings in the template can be found on the page The template and headings for course memo .

3. Preview your course memo (step 3 of 3)

When you click on "Preview", you end up on the page "Preview and publish". There you can proofread your course memo and see what it will look like once it has been published. If you want to change something, you can return to the "Edit course memo" page by clicking on "Edit".

Publish your course memo (continuing step 3 of 3)

Click the "Publish" button when you are satisfied with your course memo. A confirmation box will appear. Confirm the publishing by clicking on "Yes, publish". A confirmation that you have published your course memo is displayed, with a link to your published course memo. If you want to wait before publishing your course memo, choose "No, go back" instead.

Add a link to Canvas
