What is Canvas?
Canvas is our new Learning Management System. Starting in the fall of 2026, it will be the home for all courses at Quinnipiac.
Program, department, and school leadership teams have been deciding when it is best for their courses to migrate to Canvas from Blackboard. Our earliest adopters have been using Canvas since Spring 2025.

J-Term & Spring 2026 Courses
If you are using Canvas for your Spring 2026 courses, QILT has compiled key information for you on our website. Find guidance on setting up your course of record shells, tips for getting ready for the first day of class, and resources for support from both Canvas and QILT.
Organization Sites
Some organization site leaders have already worked with us to migrate their content from Blackboard or start their organization fresh in Canvas.
If you’re eager to move your organization's site to Canvas today, submit a request to us. Alternatives to using Canvas (such as SharePoint) can be discussed during the migration conversations.
Please see this page for information about student advising organizations.
Resources for Using Canvas
If you need help with Canvas, remember there are 24/7/365 phone and chat support options in the Canvas Help menu. We also have a growing collection of resources on our Instructor Resources for Canvas page!
