Coming Soon: D2L Course Merges Made Easy!

d2lmergeblogwhiteCanisius College ITS is deploying a new D2L course merge form for faculty in time for the Fall 2017 semester.  The form, which will make requesting course merges in Desire2Learn easier to do, will be ready by mid-August, at which point you can use it to merge your courses for fall 2017.  You will no longer need to request merges via email to the ITS Help Desk.

If you have built course content in one of your courses, you will be able to preserve that completely.  Call or email ITS helpdesk (helpdesk@canisius.edu, x8340) with any questions or concerns.  

Thanks for your patience.  We look forward to showing you our new merge form!
