March 11: Suspension of Enrollments in 9-Month Correspondence Courses
Because of Texas State's transition from TRACS to Canvas as our learning management system for self-paced correspondence courses, enrollments for 9-month correspondence courses in TRACS will be suspended on March 11, 2020. Students who need to enroll in one of these 9-month courses will need to do so before March 11, 2020.
The 9-month correspondence courses are expected to reopen, with enrollment in Canvas, by early Summer 2020.
For more information on Canvas and the migration from TRACS to Canvas, please visit the Department of Information Technology's Canvas Information webpage.
