Faculty can self-initiate Canvas for their offerings. Canvas is required for use by all curricular programs and courses. Using Microsoft Teams (in Canvas) or WordPress (in addition to Canvas) is optional.

Step 1- Go to your "Academic Resources" page
Step 2 - Choose the offering
Step 3 - Click on "Canvas Request"
Step 4 - Choose option to clone or apply a template
Step 4a - Option: "Clone an existing Canvas site"
Step 4b - Option: "Create a new Canvas site" (apply a template)
Step 4b - Click a template name to select it.


To self-initiate Canvas and/or select an optional technology for your offering:

Go to your My Evergreen page (at my.evergreen.edu)

  1. Under the “Faculty” section, click on "Academic Resources.” You should see a list of current (green section) and upcoming offerings (yellow section).
  2. Click on the name of the offering you would like to initiate Canvas or make an optional tech selection for.
  3. Scroll down the list of options to "Learning Management System" and click the "Canvas Request" link to the right.
  4. At the next page, under the section, "Activate Canvas for your Offering," click the triangle next to "Canvas" to view and choose the options to either clone an existing Canvas site or create a site with a template or set it to generate as a unstructured Canvas shell. See Canvas Site Templates for options.


  • For the "Clone an existing Canvas site" option (see image for Step 4a)
    • Enter a "shortname" for your offering followed by the term - example, "Field Studies VES Sp25" is a shorter version of the offering name, "Field Studies in Volcanic Eco-Systems" and "Sp25" indicates Spring 2025.
    • Use the drop-down below the shortname field, to select which of your previous Canvas sites you'd like to clone to your new site.


  • Step 4b - For the "Create a new Canvas site" (apply a template) option (see image for Step 4b)
    • Enter a "shortname" and term (see above for example)
    • Use the drop-down below the shortname field, to select which template you'd like to apply to your new site.


After you've self-initiated Canvas, the site (or sites) should become available within one to two hours and can be accessed via direct link and "Canvas Home" at your my.evergreen page.

If you select WordPress, (sites.evergreen.edu) - sites are manually-created by curricular support staff and you will be contacted when the site is available.

If you select an Orca fileshare for your program, these are auto-created when the offering becomes available for registration and students' Cubbies will populate as students register for your offering.
