Request a Canvas Global Announcement

About This Form

University administrators can use this form to request for an announcement to be placed on the Canvas Dashboard. Once the request is submitted, it will be reviewed by a Canvas Administrator, and a member of Academic Affairs leadership to ensure it meets the following guidelines:

  • The announcement must promote information that contributes to student success.
  • The announcement must be of a university-wide nature.
  • Canvas is not the only method used to reach the target audience.
  • The initiative or project prompting the announcement must be managed by staff at UWM or UW Administration.

It may take up to 3 business days for this request to be processed.
