Adding users and merging course sites can now be done instantly using the Canvas Request Form. Instructions for each task are provided below.

Course copies and creating new administrative course sites are completed manually by the ATC via the request form.
Note: Courses that students register for in Workday are automatically added to Canvas approximately 8 weeks prior to term start. No need to request these!

To access the form, click "Request Course Modification" in Actions or bookmark the URL https://www.wpi.edu/+canvasrequest

If you have any questions or have trouble using the form, please email us at canvashelp@wpi.edu .
