Log into the Cascade CMS system at https://cms.tamuc.edu/login.act
Select the ACADEM site from the site drop down meu at the top of the page:
Once on the ACADEM site, you can use the “New” drop-down menu to select adding a CV or adding a syllabus to a specified term.
Adding a CV
Clicking the “CV” menu item takes you to this page shown below for uploading a CV.
Use the “Choose File” button to popup a file chooser and select the CV to upload. You can also drag-n-drop the CV into the dop area instead. The CMS will fill in the “System Name“ field using the file name up uploaded. The standard system followed at TAMUC is that a CV is named LastnameFirstname.pdf. So, for instance, the CV for Shirley Allen is named “AllenShirleyt.pdf”
Also, you must enter the instructor’s CWID to allow the Schedule of Classes to link this CV into the Schedule.
After uploading the CV, click the “Submit” button in the lower right. This will then take you back to the View tab showing you the newly uploaded CV. Click the “Publish” tab – to open this page:
Click the “Submit” button to publish the uploaded CV onto the web server.
Adding a Syllabus
Clicking the “Syllabi” sub menu item will show you the menu of terms to which you can upload a syllabus.
Select the desired term for the syllabus and the form below opens.
Use the “Choose File” button to popup a file chooser and select the syllabus to upload. You can also drag-n-drop the syllabus into the drop area instead. The CMS will fill in the “System Name“ field using the file name up uploaded. The standard system followed at TAMUC is that a syllabus is named in this pattern: CRN.pdf – you can see that when looking at the other syllabi in Cascade as shown below.
The Display Name and Title fields can be left blank.
Click the “Submit” button to upload the syllabus into Cascade. Then click the “Publish” tab and the “Submit” button on that page to publish the syllabus to the web server.
CVs and Syllabi in the Schedule of Classes
There is a regular process that runs every four hours that creates the information used by the Schedule of Classes for linking to Syllabi and CVs withing Cascade, so it may take up to that long before the newly uploaded CV or Syllabus is available within the Schedule of Classes.
