Webdrop 2.0

Change Course Description

You can change the course description that students see when they access your course webdrop folder. This might help them confirm that they are in the correct course since the preset description may be very short and not consistent with the common name for the course.

To change the course description in webdrop folders:

1. If you have not done so already, access the webdrop program at: https://webdrop.d.umn.edu. You will need to authenticate using your x.500 username and password
2. Click the link "Manage Available course folders"
3. Choose the appropriate course by clicking the radio button to the left of the course identifier
4. Click the "Open Course Folder" button
5. Choose the option "Change Course Description" by clicking the radio button to the left of that option in the list
6. Click the "Submit" button
7. Enter the new course description
8. Click the "Submit Option" button
9. You will see an confirmation message
10. Click link "Go Back to Managing your Folder" or "Webdrop Folder Mainpage" to perform other operations
