FAQ

Q: How do I request a new Third-Party Add-On Tool to be added to Canvas?

A: All requests for new tools to be integrated with Canvas must go through both CETL testing and FERPA/Security reviews conducted by OIT. This process can take up to three months, so it is best to make requests in the semester prior to when the tool is needed. We ask that those who make requests take an active role working with CETL and the software vendor to help test new tools as needed. Please fill out the Request for a Third-Party Add-On Tool Form to make a request for the subsequent semester.
