5. Our move to UVACanvas will take place over multiple semesters.
   This Spring, it is possible you will need to use more than one learning system to access your various course sites, such as UVACanvas, UVACollab, or your school's current Canvas. This is temporary. By summer 2023 term, most schools will be using the same system, UVACanvas. Find out when each school or area is schedule to make the change.
