How much time does an integration take?

Anywhere between 2 weeks to 3 months •

Rule of Thumb

Notify Admins 1 to 3 months before an integration is needed.

 Remind Campus Departments to work with LMS Administrator for any third party discussion and implementation  ITS Helpdesk requests from campus will be rerouted to engage LMS Administrator  Open separate ticket for each integration needed
