The new LMS Course Management page is under construction. Please use this link to access it.
The Canvas learning management system is a replacement for Blackboard Learn that will be implemented system-wide starting Fall 2021. Select sections will transition to Canvas during Fall 2020, Spring 2021, and Summer 2021 semesters. More information about Canvas.
Flag Sections for Canvas in myWSU
Flagging takes place in myWSU in the Schedule Builder applications.
- Single section: Department Scheduler codes in Maintain Schedule of Classes > Basic Data tab.
- Multiple Sections with the same Catalog Number and Campus: Department Scheduler codes in Maintain Schedule of Classes > Basic Data tab.
- Combined Sections: Campus Scheduler codes in Combined Section Table. This includes crosslisted, conjoint, videoconference, and "blended with Global" sections. Leave a Notes/Request in Maintain Schedule of Classes.
Once courses are flagged, it takes 1 - 2 hours to load into Canvas.
Same Catalog Number & Campus or single section
Flagged by Department Schedulers. These sections are not in a combined section and are either single sections or more than one section with the same catalog number and campus.
Flag in Maintain Schedule of Classes
myWSU > Main Menu > Curriculum Management > Schedule Builder > Maintain Schedule of Classes > Basic Data tab.
Primary Instr Section
Use the magnifying glass to select the Primary Instruction Section. By default this number will match the Section Number. When the instructor would like multiple sections merged into one course shell, set each section to have the same Primary Instr Section number. The section number entered in Primary Instr Section will represent the parent section in Canvas.
Class Attributes
Use the magnifying glass to make the following selections:
Course Attribute: LMS
Course Attribute Value: CANVAS
Combined Sections
Must be flagged by Campus Schedulers. Please leave a Notes/Request or follow normal campus procedures.
Flag in Combined Sections Table

It is not necessary that these sections be coded in Maintain Schedule of Classes, though no harm is done if they are also coded there.
