Canvas Provisioning is the integration between Canvas LMS and Rutgers Course Scheduling and Student Information Systems. The current supported systems are REGIS and BANNER.
The Canvas Provisioning services are developed and maintained by the Office of Information Technology (OIT) – Enterprise Application Services.
Canvas provisioning handles the daily creation and management of courses, sections, users, and enrollments in Canvas. This process is handled in 4 separate jobs every morning (7 days a week).
The time schedule below represents when the upload begins, processing times will vary depending on Canvas and how many active terms are running.
** RBHS have multiple terms running at the same time. The Upload Enroll Student uploads a separate file for each term code. It may take up to one hour for this job finished updating in Canvas.
The Upload Courses and Sections job extracts active offerings from the Rutgers course scheduling systems and creates a single Canvas course site with one section for each RegIndex/CRN.
The Canvas NetID Activation job extracts newly activated or recently updated NetIDs at Rutgers and creates the user account in Canvas. User accounts are set up for active Students, Faculty, Staff, and Guests. Most of NetID’s will added to Canvas within 24 hours after activation. Additional information can be found on the Rutgers NetID website.
If you are unable to use your NetID to log into Canvas after 48 hours, please contact the Canvas help desk at help@canvas.rutgers.edu.
The Upload Enroll Instructor job extracts assigned Instructor’s NetIDs from SRDB – Future Course Offering (FCO) / BANNER – Meeting times and Instructor. The assigned Instructor NetID will be added with the “teacher” course role inside the Canvas section.
Important: This job relies on Canvas to perform the diffing for instructor enrollments. This means Rutgers sends a file to Canvas listing who currently assigned as an instructor. Any change in the file from the previous file submitted will result in Canvas adding or deleting that instructor enrollment record.
The Upload Enroll Student job extracts the rosters from REGIS and BANNER. Students on the roster will be added with the “student” course role inside the Canvas section.
** Majority of rosters in Canvas will update within the 24 hour timeframe. However student that registers for a course between 1:00AM – 7:00AM ET will be delayed until the following day.
Important: This job relies on Canvas to perform the diffing for student enrollments. This means Rutgers sends a file to Canvas listing who currently on the RegIndex or CRN roster. Any change in the file from the previous file submitted will result in Canvas adding or deleting that student enrollment record.
Canvas administrators will only delete course sites that have been canceled by the department or scheduling office. By default, Canvas live course sites are set up unpublished and not accessible to students.
As best practice, we recommend all instructors to reach out to their students as early as possible and provide them a welcome email with instructions on how to access their course.
Names listed on the schedule of classes are for display only. There is a separate field in the Rutgers Course Scheduling System and BANNER which Canvas uses to add Teachers to Canvas sites.
Please make sure your NetID or A# is assigned as the instructor inside these systems. Additional information can be found on the Live Course Site page.
First thing to do is make sure the course site you are viewing is a live course site.
During add/drop periods, it may take over 24 hours for students to appear on your Canvas roster. This will depend on the time they register.
If your Canvas roster remains inaccurate for more than 48 hours, please email help@canvas.rutgers.edu and include your Canvas site URL.
All faculty assignment and student enrollments processed by Canvas Provisioning cannot be edited by the teacher. If a student has dropped a course, Canvas will remove the student within 24 hours of the change.
Note: Instructors can still add other people into their course as a student, teacher, or TA. Canvas will allow the instructors to remove these users they have manually added.
The Office of Information Technology has scheduled a system maintenance which will postpone Canvas rosters updates on Sunday, August 28th, 2022. Students who have added or dropped a course on Saturday, August 27th will see the changes reflected in their Canvas accounts on Monday, August 29th. If the class has already started and you need … Read More
