Canvas Logo

On Wednesday, November 8, 2023, Information Technology Services (ITS) will delete courses in Canvas from the following semesters in accordance with the Canvas course deletion cycle:

  • Spring 2017
  • Summer 2017
  • Fall 2017
  • Spring 2018
  • Summer 2018

Deleting courses cleans up faculty dashboards and course listings in Canvas, makes current and past courses easier to locate, and frees up storage space in Canvas.

How do I export a Canvas course? provides directions on how to save course material if any faculty wish to do so.
