Noncredit Canvas Shell with automated NetIDs

Background

UW-Madison academic programs that need to use the campus LMS (currently Canvas) for non-timetable lifelong-learning purposes (also sometimes called "noncredit programs") may choose to use the "L3 process." This fully automated process ensures that every registrant for your program can access your learning materials in the campus LMS (Canvas) immediately after completing registration for your program.

Canvas may be used by any UW-Madison program; no special agreement is required regardless of what type of credential/credit your program offers or does not offer. See Canvas - FAQs for Noncredit Courses [UW-Madison].

Each student will be invited immediately to a fully automated process running 24/7/365 which:

1. Either issues the learner a UW-Madison NetID or verifies that the learner's existing NetID is ready to be used.
2. Adds this learner to the appropriate course-site roster(s) in the campus LMS.
3. Directs the learner to the campus LMS to begin accessing the course website(s).

For details about the learner's experience of this process please see: Lifelong Learners (L3) - Enrollment Process.
