Request a Master Template Course
It is a best practice to use a master template to create your course content and then copy to upcoming semesters, rather than copying from a previous semester. To request a master template for each of your courses, use the request form at http://helpdesk.missouristate.edu/services-blackboardtemplate.htm.
