What is Canvas Extend USNH?

Canvas Extend USNH is another "instance" of Canvas within USNH.  Each Canvas instance is focused on particular student groups.  UNH has an "instance", as do Plymouth State University (PSU) and Keene State College (KSC), but only members of the USNH community can access courses in those campus-specific Canvas instances.

The Canvas Extend USNH instance is for courses associated with the University System of New Hampshire that will have non-USNH students enrolled (USNH students can be enrolled as well, along with the non-USNH students.)

 

Important Information

  • The Extend USNH instance of Canvas is a “no-frills” instance.
    • Canvas Extend USNH does not contain any LTIs (Learning Tools Interoperability, e.g. Kaltura) that you may be familiar with in other instances of Canvas.
    • Canvas Extend USNH does not support New Quizzes.
  • There is a cost. For FY25, the cost is $12.40 per non-USNH user per year.
    1. Expect an approximate increase in cost of 3% per year.
    2. Pro-rated payment is due up-front at the establishment of a course and then annually every June 1st.
