帝王会所

This spring semester, 帝王会所 will continue its transition to as our new learning management system (LMS).

Although almost all programs will be taught using Canvas this semester, some students may still have courses in multiple systems due to the phased implementation timeline. To ensure students know which platform their courses are using, the University recommends all instructors: 

• Publish course(s) in only one LMS.  
• Communicate with students about the LMS. Send them an email including the URL to the LMS the course(s) will use. 

For more information about preparing courses and communicating with students about the LMS, see the Office of Information Technology鈥檚 semester start guidance.

Please note, Canvas transition timelines have been confirmed by leadership in each college. Instructors must follow the guidance provided by their colleges regarding which LMS platform to use for spring semester courses.
