These resources will used to create, modify, and schedule courses.  Please note that all course information must be submitted to the Registrar's Office by the relevant deadlines posted below.  The MIP Instructor Handbook, which will be updated in late summer for AY 2023-2024, contains details on things like course policies, the syllabus, exams, and student privacy and support resources.  

Course units are particularly important since they cannot be changed once a given quarter opens for enrollment (August 30, 2023 for Autumn Quarter; November 29, 2023 for Winter Quarter; March 6, 2024 for Spring Quarter).

If you need the password to access the MIP Instructor Handbook and/or have questions, please contact Jonathan Achter (650.725.9155) or Cheng Huynh in the program office.
