Good Afternoon, Faculty Colleagues –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See below for the most recent monthly installment of Canvas updates for faculty. It\u2019s an exciting time as work accelerates in advance of our Summer 2026 go-live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The\u00a0final\u00a0batch of K16 custom course migrations will begin very soon (with\u00a0course availability\u00a0in mid-April).
    \n
      \n
    1. If you have a complex course to suggest for custom migration, please\u00a0<\/strong>complete and submit\u00a0this\u00a0<\/strong>Canvas Course Migration Form<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>by Friday, March 6.\u00a0<\/strong>Availability is limited, so please\u00a0submit\u00a0only\u00a0complex courses with significant content. Our team will prioritize submissions\u00a0and accommodate as many as possible.
      <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Remember that due to limited resources, custom migration services are not available for all D2L courses. Recent course shells using multiple LMS features, along with MTSU Online courses, will undergo custom migration. Otherwise,\u00a0you should\u00a0move courses and content using the guidelines in this\u00a0pdf<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0video<\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Summer and Fall 2026 course\u00a0shells<\/strong>\u00a0are now visible in\u00a0your Canvas account<\/a>. These are just shells, without course content, but you\u00a0can\u00a0import content\u00a0anytime.\u00a0Pdf<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0video instructions<\/a>\u00a0for how to do so are available in the\u00a0faculty resources<\/a>\u00a0on the\u00a0Canvas website<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Students cannot access D2L after May 15, 2026, but faculty permissions are active through\u00a0December\u00a031, 2026.
          \u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. CIO Yvette Clark and I\u00a0will soon\u00a0finalize plans\u00a0to archive\u00a0past D2L courses, thereby enabling access to D2L course data and submissions past\u00a0December 31, 2026. More information to come.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
