New Instructors or TA’s need to complete Instructor training and then go to Knowledge Center and complete the Canvas Proficiency Quiz
Student enrollments are via PeopleSoft: students are enrolled in their Canvas Courses the next business day after they complete registration.
Cross-listing (merging two or more course sections or courses) must be requested via Canvas Course Cross-Listing Request form, and should be completed prior to entering content.
