Ithaca College

Ithaca College is replacing Sakai with the Canvas learning management system beginning with the Fall 2021 semester. Data within your Sakai project site(s) will need to be manually moved by the site creator or a maintainer to another platform, such as Microsoft Teams, Microsoft SharePoint, or alternate solutions. If your Sakai project site is no longer needed, it can be archived, self-deleted, or deleted upon request. 

What do you need to know? 

• Action is required to manually move, archive, or delete your Sakai project sites by August 31.
• All Sakai project sites will become read-only with limited access effective September 1.
• All Sakai project sites will be permanently deleted on January 1, 2022.

Moving your project content out of Sakai will be a manual self-initiated process that will need to be completed by the site creator or a maintainer. Content must be migrated or archived to another platform or deleted by August 31.

Next steps

1. On Wednesday, May 5, 2021, all site creators and maintainers will receive an email from the IT Service Desk (servicedesk@ithaca.edu) with a list of their Sakai project site(s) for review
2. Individuals should identify a person responsible for each project site evaluation
3. Evaluate each Sakai project site and review this article for steps on how to delete, archive, or move content
