Last Chance! Migrate Blackboard Organizations to Canvas

With access to Blackboard ending in fewer than 10 days, now is the time to make any final arrangements for organizations you currently lead. Join the hundreds of organizations that have already made the move from Blackboard to Canvas and start your switch today. And remember, organizations in Blackboard will not be available after Saturday, June 30, 2018!

How well your organization will transfer to a Canvas course site depends on how you use the organization currently in Blackboard. Please consult our organization page on how to proceed with your migration: 

  1. Learn which type of organization will transfer easily to Canvas and discover alternative platforms that may be a better fit.
  2. Begin the transfer process by archiving and cleaning out files. Note that Canvas course sites allow only 1GB of data.
  3. Complete the FSU Canvas Organization Request Form if you decide to transfer your Blackboard organization to Canvas or create a new organization in Canvas.
  4. Sign up for an appointment with our ODL Technical Support team for assistance in transferring your Blackboard content or setting up a new organization in a Canvas course site.

Keep in mind our Blackboard license ends Sunday, July 1, 2018. Leaders must either MOVE or PHASE OUT all Blackboard organizations and transition all materials to Canvas or another platform by that time.
