Finalizing the transition to Canvas
During the 2021-2022 academic year, Rutgers officially made Canvas the university’s official learning management system (LMS).
As of January 18, 2022, ALL Rutgers course sections that use an LMS are featured on Canvas. Other updates include:
- More than 20,000 course sites were moved to Canvas during the LMS transition.
- Blackboard and Moodle are in a read-only state.
- 17,198 course sections provisioned on Canvas in Spring 2022, with 9,702 of those sections published.
In an effort to streamline information technology support at Rutgers, the OIT Help Desk now provides technical assistance for Canvas and Sakai. You can now call one phone number, 833-OIT-HELP, for help with everything from Canvas to Zoom, Rutgers Connect, and NetIDs.
