A new course template, called Standard UH Template, is now available in the Course Request System for Spring 2024 courses. The template follows the best practices for visual layout, content organization and accessibility. It also provides options for banners, icons, and pages.

Here is a preview of the template. The template will include all Canvas tools and settings after it has been applied to your course.
