NCPD - CSIS - LMS Spaces - How to Create and Disassociate

Instructions on how to create an LMS course site in CSIS.

Noncredit Professional Development courses or Lifelong Learning (L3) courses cannot be set up directly in Canvas, so an LMS course site must be set up in CSIS. These instructions outline how to do this. For additional reference, see [Link for document 65478 is unavailable at this time]. This document also includes directions for disassociating a LMS Space from a course instance.
