Resources & Policies
- Canvas - UT's official web-based learning management system for hosting and sharing all course materials.

- Official courses are automatically created in Canvas at least two months before the semester begins. They are not available to students, however, until the instructor publishes it.
A sandbox course allows you to test Canvas features in a safe environment. In your sandbox course, you can add files, create quizzes, etc. and easily copy this content into your official course when you're ready.
