Are you working on converting your Canvas course from quarters to semesters? Click here to view and download the new semester templates to support calendar unification.

We have created customizable course templates to simplify your course building. Each template is designed for specific needs and can be adjusted by following the instructions on Personalize Your Homepage .

The templates include creative visual elements, improved accessibility, and mobile-friendly enhancements. We've also integrated a TILT framework to increase transparency in assignments, discussions, and quizzes, helping students better understand the purpose and structure of their tasks.

Review the templates below, click on the "View Template" links to confirm the template best suits your needs, then download it to your desktop—note: the IMSCC template file cannot be opened directly. Follow the steps in Import a Course Template into Your Course to complete the process.

Note: If you do not yet have a Canvas course shell, IDS can create a PREP space for you. Just choose a template and email IDS at IDStudio@seattleu.edu.
