Using the Tenure Shells on Canvas

Completed evaluations for probationary faculty and other important documents are now collected in Canvas. Each committee has its own shell. Committee members should upload documents directly to the Canvas shell. Nicole Gray from FA made a video on how to upload files to a tenure shell on Canvas. When you watch the video below, substitute "De Anza" instead of "Foothill" and my name instead of "Patricia Gibbs."

Watch the Canvas Tenure Shell instructional video.
