Canvas is the centrally-supported learning management system used by faculty and students at UIC.
- Instructors will see their Canvas course sites 90 days prior to the start of every semester. Canvas course sites are created for most CRN-related courses, as reflected in the course catalog.
- Students will be added to course sites two weeks before the start of the semester. Canvas course sites are made unavailable to students by default, and instructors determine when to make their courses available to their students.
