Canvas, How to request a new space or check status of a request
I am an instructor and would like information for requesting a space on Canvas.
Once you are ready to request a course space, research space, collaboration space, or development (practice) space, visit: https://go.illinois.edu/sra. For more detailed instructions on using the space request tool, see Canvas, Request a Space for a Registrar-Affiliated Course (Detailed).
Special Instructions
On the "Submit Your Request" page, you will be asked if you have special instructions. Please note the following:
- Do not use the comments box to specify all rosters to be associated or an old course to be copied. You should select these through the form.
- Typing anything in this box will result in a potentially significant delay in processing. These spaces must be created manually and can take up to 2-3 business days.
- Historically, this section was used to request additional Instructors or TAs or add notes about sections. However, both may be completed after the space is created.
- If you do use the instructions box, and need the course created immediately, you may re-submit the request without special instructions
How long will my request take?
If you would like to know the status of your request, you can do that through the same request tool: https://go.illinois.edu/sra
Canvas
New Canvas space requests are built between 3 and 5pm (US Central), Monday through Friday, excluding University holidays.
