Canvas External Application Integration

Integrated external applications add functionality to a digital learning environment (DLE) to meet the needs of teaching and learning.

All integrated external application requests go through UW System (UWSA) which helps ensure the evaluation of external application integrations across all institutions is transparent, consistent, and efficient.

The Steps

  1. After you request this service, DoTS meets with you to complete a UWSA form with information about the external tool.
  2. DoTS submits the form to UWSA to initiate their review process.
    • The UWSA review process can take 30 to 90+ days to evaluate based on complexity.

External application integrations can take 3-9+ months to complete.
