Course Migration

[mstewart]

Hello,

I’ve created a new Canvas course for the 1200 series and would like to know if there’s a way to smoothly migrate students from my existing 1100 series course while preserving their progress in the new shell.

Has anyone successfully done this before, or is there a recommended method to handle this type of transition?

Thank you!

I've never done anything like that, myself, but perhaps you can do a Provisioning export the data in Settings > Reports into a CSV, change the associated Course ID (and other fields as needed) and push it back using the SIS Import tool, doing the UI Override.

Maybe move one student using the UI so you can see the before and after changes that you might need to make in your CSV.



Don't forget to consult the SIS Import documentation for info on how to form the CSVs properly.
