Application Timelines/Policies
LTI requests will be temporarily paused. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to plan accordingly.
Third party software is not part of the Bridges (Sakai) software suite and therefore requires extensive review and testing prior to integration. In order to protect system data and to ensure system integrity, the review process also requires compliance with FERPA, ADA, as well as vetting of financial risks, legal requirements, security compliance and system limitations.
The time between application and the installation also depends on factors such as tool complexity, vendor time, department availability and queue. On average, the process can take 3-6 months. Please plan your requests accordingly to accommodate this timeline.
