eCommons Retirement

eCommons is being replaced with Canvas as the campus learning management system. User access to eCommons will end March 30, 2018, and the system will be fully retired June 30, 2018.

Faculty and other content owners are responsible for making sure that all of the information they require from eCommons is preserved prior to March 30, 2018. 

Learn more about how to preserve materials from eCommons and the support available for migrating to Canvas.

New sites are no longer supported in eCommons. Faculty who wish to use eCommons for instruction in Fall 2017 or Winter 2018 may contact ecommons.help@ucsc.edu to request a course site. Only sites that are reusing existing course content will be approved.

eCommons is a collaborative learning environment (CLE) that consists of a suite of integrated web tools that can be used to support a class or project. [LOGIN] It is based on an open source application, Sakai CLE. eCommons allows faculty and staff to create websites for courses, projects and collaboration. Within those sites, they choose from the many tools that meet their needs for managing their activities and participants.

Tips for Students

  • If you don't see your course in the Quick Links try clicking on My Sites to show all sites in which you are a member. If you are just now adding classes, it can take 24 hours for the data to update from myucsc.edu to eCommons. We run updates Monday-Saturday in the early morning.
  • Concurrent students (registered through University Extension) need to have a CruzID to be added to any course site. As soon as you received enrollment approval from your instructor submit an ITRequest ticket to finish the course enrollment process. Include your course number, instructor name and contact information including your existing CruzID (xxx@ucsc.edu) address if you had one previously.
