Creating a new course page in the ERes system is a multi-step process that involves logging into ERes, selecting "Add Course Page", entering required course information like the department, course number and name, and term, and optionally including additional details like a password. Instructors can then modify course settings like the password later by selecting the course and clicking "Course Settings". Staff are available to assist with any questions about creating or managing course pages in ERes.
