For the Spring 2025 semester, Pitzer Sakai sites will be created in an unpublished state. Spring 2025 is the last semester that Sakai sites will be available for teaching, and this change will help reduce confusion for students as we fully transition to Canvas in Fall 2025. If you’re using Sakai in this last available semester, please publish your Sakai sites before classes begin so that students can view the syllabus and other information. If you need assistance publishing your Sakai site, please contact the Help Desk. To publish your Sakai site, please click "Publish Now" in the yellow bar that appears across the top of the course site (screenshot below). Sakai site publishing options are also available under Site Info in the course navigation at left, and then under the "Manage Access" tab. Within the Manage Access tab, there are options to Publish and Unpublish the site (screenshot below). Please click Update after selecting to Publish your course site.

Migrations for Sakai course and project sites are currently underway. Beginning with Summer Session 2025, Canvas is the LMS (Learning Management System) for the Claremont Colleges. From Summer Session 2025 onward, Sakai cannot be used for live classes, only for migrating or archiving information. Pitzer faculty and instructors will retain direct access to Sakai until July 1, 2025. Starting July 2, 2025, only Sakai admins will have access to Sakai for archiving and migrating sites, and this access ends July 1, 2026. After July 1, 2026, Pomona College (the consortial host of Sakai) may preserve data, but the details of this process are yet to be determined. Sakai Course Sites Course sites are created by the Registrar for teaching. Course site details and participants are maintaned by a sync with Registrar data. Course sites in Sakai can be archived to Box, or they can be migrated to Canvas for continued usage. Pitzer Sakai course sites will only be migrated or archived by IT upon request Course sites can be migrated or archived by faculty, instructors, and student assistants until July 1, 2025 Sakai Project Sites Project sites in Sakai were manually created, often for committees, workshops, or business purposes. Active project sites can be moved to Box or another location according to the needs of the site.
