Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Forum course

Definition

Previously referred to as a master course, a forum course is a CarmenCanvas course shell that is not connected to the Registrar's system. It is a dedicated, consistent space for building instructional materials allowing instructors time to build a course the way they want, when they want, and update it as needed. Once the forum course is built, copy it each semester into the academic course shell. Learn more about forum courses.
