The university's automated migration process to Canvas only copies course content from the D2L Brightspace learning management system. It does not migrate student submissions or grades, including assignment submissions, discussion posts, quiz responses and other student work. If you need to retain this data for future use, please download it from D2L Brightspace before June 1, 2025. After that time, it will no longer be available.  

Visit Retaining Student Data from D2L Brightspace for instructions on how to complete this process. Support specialists can assist you by appointment, email at canvas@montana.edu or phone at 406-994-3255. 

Here are a few examples of why you might need student data or work samples: 

  • I-grade completion
  • Course assessment
  • Core assessment
  • Program assessment
  • Accreditation
  • Letters of Recommendation
  • Program review
  • Annual review
  • Promotion and tenure
