Request Student Access for Incomplete Grade Completion

This process assumes the instructor of the course is in compliance with Procedures and policies prescribed by the Registrar's Office for Incomplete Grades. Upon approval of this request, Online@JSU will configure access in a special section of the Canvas course associated with the course/section and term for which the student originally registered.  Requests for periods extending beyond policy parameters will be routed to the Registrar's Office for approval.  If you are a JSU employee submitting this request on behalf of the instructor of record, this request will be routed to the instructor of record prior to routing to Online@JSU.

Request Special Access to a Canvas Course

Complete this form to request "special" access to a Canvas course.

  • Students and instructors assigned to courses in Banner are not required to complete this form.
  • The Canvas course creation process is a vital part of teaching and learning at Jacksonville State University. As such, it is important to understand the formal process in which instructors and students are added to official Canvas courses as generated by Banner. In certain situations, however, administrators and instructors request that instructors, students, and graduate assistants be added to official Canvas courses outside the formal process described above. There are official processes in place for such requests.
  • Please review these processes before you request Canvas access.

Request an LTI

LTIs can be added to Canvas to provide a new function or enhance an existing one. When should an instructor request an LTI?

  • To access vendor content or a way for one system (LMS) to send a user to another system (vendor) in a trusted way
  • To use tools outside the LMS environment and make them feel more "integrated" into the system
  • To extend grading or assignment capabilities
  • To provide an alternative to existing services
