Framework or policy for creating non-academic courses in Canvas?

[s_dougherty]

Our focus during the Canvas roll-out for the past few years has been on supporting the academic courses on Canvas. Enrolment and course creation is managed via SIS import. 

We are now receiving more and more requests to use Canvas for non-academic courses (examples such as staff professional development, student optional courses and student professional development). I would really appreciate hearing any institutions experience around managing and administering these requests. 

If anyone has information on any approaches, a framework or policy they would be happy to share, it would be great to hear from you.  

Thank you in advance!
