The tools made available below have been Vetted and Approved by our Information Security Office to ensure student data is protected.

Canvas Course Integration Guidelines:
Please note that some apps store FERPA data. If you wish to install an LTI tool not available on this list, please follow these steps:
1. Determine if the LTI tool is using FERPA data. FERPA data may include course enrollment data, assignment submission data, and/or student grades. If you are unsure, please contact canvas@utlists.utexas.edu.

2. If FERPA data are being used, additional steps are necessary to ensure data is protected and agreements are in place with the vendor and our Business Contracts office. For help through this process, please email canvas@utlists.utexas.edu with vendor contact information and reasons why you're interested in using the tool. Our team will work with the vendor, Information Security Office (ISO), and Business Contracts Office to vet the LTI Tool. These steps typically takes 2 - 3 weeks depending on the request backlog.

Check out the new UI refresh of the UT Canvas Apps page! We have made it easier to find and install approved apps in Canvas. Look for the new and improved "UT Canvas Apps" page located on the left course navigation in all courses.
