LMS Requests

The LMS team oversees Excelsior’s instance of Canvas which includes maintaining access and term set up in live sections for faculty and students. This team works closely with several teams: ITS, Student Support Services, Tech Support, Help Desk, Production Team, Course Registration, Office of Records and Registration and the Bookstore Team so a lot of our requests may overlap. Please note when should you contact the LMS directly?
