Canvas Course Changes Beginning Winter Term 2020

Learn more about the changes you will see in your course.

Spring 2020 Course Creation

Spring 2020 course creation is available in the Course Creation Tool now. To comply with the FERPA regulations, only the course section that is combined in UDSIS can be combined in Canvas. Therefore, if you check multiple sections in the Course Creation Tool, a popup window will display to remind you to check if these sections are eligible to combine. If you are sure the section combination is valid, you can click on the “Confirm” button to proceed. Otherwise, should you have any uncertainties, please make sure to contact the Scheduling Office (schedoffice@udel.edu) first.
