Microsoft Education LTI

Important Update About OneDrive in Canvas

The current OneDrive LTI will be deprecated September 30, 2026.

In preparation for this change, the Microsoft Education LTI has been enabled for all courses and the legacy OneDrive LTI placements disabled. Content must be migrated prior to September 30. Users will continue to have access to content in the legacy drive during the migration process.

Using OneDrive in Microsoft Education

Microsoft Education has several placements in each course. When selected, it will launch into an authentication window. Use your CougarNet account credentials to authenticate.
