Action Needed: Update Box Links on Course Sites

As part of preparations for the Box migration, Northwestern IT is asking instructors to review their Canvas course sites for hyperlinks connecting to Box content. This proactive step is intended to prevent broken links once Box content is migrated.

For details on updating URLs, please view the Update Box Links on Canvas Course Sites article in the Canvas Learning Center. If you have questions about updating Box links, please contact your local IT support staff or the IT Service Desk at BOX-Migration@northwestern.edu or 847-491-4357 (1-HELP).
