Building Courses for Fall 25

Question

How should I begin building my courses in Canvas for the Fall 2025 semester? 

 

Environment

  • Canvas

 

Answer

Build in an Existing Semester Course

Summer 24, Fall 24, and Winter 25 courses are available in Canvas. Import the branded template resources from Canvas Commons.

  • Access Canvas Commons through the link on your Canvas Global Navigation menu.
  • Click on GRCC Generic Template in the list of resources.
  • Click Import/Download and use the checkboxes to select the courses to which you’d like to apply the template. 

Build in a Template Course 

The template is already applied to your USERNAME.TEMPLATE course. Use this structure to organize your existing content and add new materials using the example pages and module structure.

To request additional templates, email TLDE@grcc.edu.


Additional Information

  • Course materials from Blackboard are available in courses marked BBM (Blackboard Migration). Consider these BBM courses as archives of content from Blackboard. Copy these migrated materials to your template to reorganize, edit, and supplement as you build in Canvas. 
  • As you build, it’s not necessary to copy entire courses! We recommend selecting specific content to import to your template; you may also copy selected modules or content from a BBM or another course to work with in your template.
