How Do I Access My Offer in Ursus?

Once you have successfully logged onto Canvas for the first time, you will also be able to log onto the Facilitator Portal, also referred to Ursus. On Ursus, you will be able to accept offers, requests courses you'd like to learn, and enter blackout dates.

To Access your Offers:

Navigate to the Facilitator Portal, also referred to Ursus: instructor.ecornell.com

Ursus account login is ecornell email for username, and same password that you used for Canvas, above.    

On the home screen, click the Open Offers Icon or click Offers menu.

Click the pencil icon next to the Pending or Revised offer.

Review each assignment, click the toggle slide for each assignment, and then click Confirm.

If you decline an assignment, please add a note to clarify which part of the assignment you are declining and/or a reason for declining the whole assignment offer.  In addition, please notify your PFM, so any adjustments can be made in a timely manner.

Assignment Revisions and Re-assignments

After the initial round of assignment offers, changes are inevitable — course cancellations, new assignment requests, or reassignments. You'll need to accept revisions just as you do initial offers. In rare situations such as those listed below, eCornell may determine that you are not able to fulfill a course assignment as planned. eCornell will make every reasonable effort to make connection with you to make sure you're ok and so that you're aware in advance when we need to re-assign a course. 

Scenarios when re-assignment may be necessary:

  • Absent from a course for more than 4 days in a typical 2-week course.
  • Persistent lack of engagement and feedback in line with eCornell facilitation standards.
  • Non-response to communications from eCornell about your course assignments. Please make sure to accept/decline your offers within one week from notification or it may be reassigned to another facilitator
