The 2026-2027 Academic Catalog is scheduled to publish in July. Therefore, we are asking that all catalog page and program curriculum edits be completed by Friday, June 26. To help users make these changes review sessions will be offered and helpful instructions are linked on the Academic Affairs Courseleaf wiki page.
The review sessions will provide an overview of the Courseleaf modules for the catalog (CAT), courses (CIM for Courses), and program requirements (CIM for Programs). This training is recommended for any current or future chairs/program directors, faculty members who intend to develop new courses, faculty members who oversee minors or other curricula, administrative associates to academic departments, or and staff members currently assigned a catalog page. Contact Amy Beiter for list of assigned pages.

On behalf of Canisius Earning Excellence Program (CEEP) Review and Recommendation Committee, Yvonne Widenor, assistant professor of art history, is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2026-27 CEEP Scholarships.
The scholarships were granted to 40 students with 24 faculty members serving as mentors. The list of this year’s recipients are listed above and can also be viewed by clicking here.
CEEP is an exciting learning and earning opportunity that pairs students with Canisius faculty for educational and rewarding experiences. These positions are intellectually demanding, create opportunities for applied learning outside the classroom, are closely related to a career or scholarly field and directly related to faculty scholarship. By working with faculty on research-focused projects, students are able to achieve a high level of preparedness for maintaining professional working relationships and for continued studies at the graduate level.
Congratulations to all the recipients!

The last day to submit an online application for the 2026-27 Canisius Earning Excellence Program (CEEP) awards is Monday, February 23. Supervisors have until Friday, March 13 to submit approvals.
The Canisius Earning Excellence Program awards students with funding for intellectually demanding projects that create opportunities for applied learning outside the classroom. The work completed through this program is closely related to a career or scholarly field and directly related to faculty scholarship. By working alongside faculty on research-focused projects, students are able to achieve a high level of preparedness for maintaining professional working relationships and for continued studies at the graduate level.
Canisius University undergraduates in any major may apply for a CEEP award if they have a 3.2 or higher overall GPA and if they have a faculty or university administrator sponsor with an appropriate CEEP project. Please note: Students with an overall GPA below 3.2 may apply for a CEEP award, but awards will only be granted if the student’s overall GPA is higher than 3.2 at the end of the spring semester and/or if their semester GPA was 3.4 or higher in the past two semesters.
CEEP students receive stipend payments deposited into their accounts with student records at the end of each semester. This allows students to receive federal work-study (if eligible) in addition to their CEEP project.
More information and current online application are available on the Academic Affairs CEEP Information Page on the myCanisius portal. Students will also receive an email notification with details regarding the application process. Please note, current CEEP award recipients interested in continuing their project next year will need to fill out new applications for the 2026-27 award. Renewal is not automatic.
If you have any questions regarding the award and application process, contact Amy Beiter (beiter5@canisius.edu) or Yvonne Widenor (widenory@canisius.edu).
