How do I schedule a new year rollover for a Canvas SIS integration?
As an admin, you can schedule Canvas SIS integration rollovers at the account level. You can schedule data set rollovers (most commonly during the summer) that automatically pause and resume schedules around end-of-year processes in Canvas SIS.
Notes:
- If your institution has any Change Requests that need to be performed during your rollover, please create a case with Canvas Support and have it escalated to the SIS Team queue. For example, you can request changes to course or section naming conventions, or you can request new login data if you are changing your Single Sign On (SSO) login method.
- Please make sure you are setting your Sync Pause Date to be at least 1 day before you roll over to your new school year in Canvas SIS, and your Sync Resume Date to be at least 1 day after you have completed your rollover in Canvas SIS. For example, if you are planning to roll over to your new school year in Canvas SIS from 2025-06-24 to 2025-06-29, you will want to have your Sync Pause Date be 2025-06-23 or earlier, and your Sync Resume Date be 2025-06-30 or later.
