UW IT is getting ready to broadly implement the access policy for Canvas on Thursday, June 17, 2021. Under this policy, the ability to sign in to Canvas is restricted generally to current employees and faculty, as well as current and recent former students. Employees and retirees will lose the ability to sign in to the UW Canvas LMS when they separate from the UW, in parallel with other IT services.
Who will be impacted by this change
- Separating employees and retirees lose access when they leave the University.
- People with sponsored UW NetIDs, such as guest instructors.
Who will not be impacted by this change, and continue to have access to Canvas
- A faculty member who has an academic appointment in Workday.
- Current instructors, faculty, staff, and students.
- New and returning employees will be able to access Canvas on their official start date.
Review details about who has access to Canvas and for how long.
Remember
If you support any of the above groups, please:
- Provision access to the Canvas LMS for guest instructors or other affiliates as needed. This access lasts for one year and must be renewed annually by a current UW employee. Learn more about provisioning access to Canvas and the responsibilities that go along with provisioning access.
