Looking ahead, student enrollments will load to Canvas two weeks prior to your course start date. As we near the fall semester, please only publish your course in one learning management system. Publishing the same course in both systems (Canvas and Blackboard) will generate confusing messages to students. To help students find your course, consider sending them an email with course information.
