Welcoming Canvas to SF State
How long will iLearn remain available?
A new version of iLearn was created every academic year. Each of these instances of iLearn stay active for two academic years and then are retired. iLearn will maintain this lifecycle during the transition to Canvas.
| Academic Year | Retirement Date |
|---|---|
| Fall 2019 - Summer 2020 | October 2022 |
| Fall 2020 - Summer 2021 | October 2023 |
| Fall 2021 - Summer 2022 | October 2024 |
| Fall 2022 - Summer 2023 | October 2025 |
Collaborative sites are on their own schedule with a retirement date yet to be determined.
