As part of a two-year transition, eCampus Ultra will replace eCampus Original over the summer as the University’s default learning management system. This means that all eCampus courses will be in Ultra by default beginning with the Fall 2025 semester.
No instructor action is required to receive a course shell in the default version of eCampus. However, instructors must submit a request to receive a course shell in the non-default version.
The eCampus production live course shell request form for summer and fall will become available March 4. To successfully submit a request, you will need your summer or fall course information, including the Course Registration Number.
eCampus Original remains the default version for the Summer 2025 term. Therefore, instructors wishing to teach in Ultra during the summer semester, including early adopters already teaching in Ultra, must submit a request between March 4-14.
eCampus Ultra is the default version for the Fall 2025 term. The Provost’s Office will consider instructor requests to continue teaching existing courses in eCampus Original during the fall semester; however, this is strongly discouraged due to the impending retirement of Original. Requests must be submitted by June 20 to be considered.
Instructors who have not yet explored eCampus Ultra should do so by requesting an Ultra development shell. Any content created in a development shell can later be copied to a production shell. Be sure to add the word “Ultra” under Special Instructions on the request form. Creating a new development shell may take 3-5 business days, depending on demand.

Blackboard/Anthology is now providing only essential updates to eCampus Original, which will be retired at the end of the Spring 2026 semester. To benefit from the modern Ultra experience, ITS recommends migrating courses as soon as feasible. This will also help reduce the time students must work in both versions of eCampus.
All eCampus courses must be in Ultra by Summer 2026.
