Requesting course content from another instructor using the CRS

This feature is for requesting a copy of course content that you do not have access to copy yourself. If you are the instructor on both the source and target course, you will need to perform this copy in Canvas. You can find information on how to copy your own Canvas course content in Importing content from another Canvas site.

1. Go to the Canvas Request System and log in.
2. Select the Course Copy tab (See Fig. 1).

4. Select Search.
