You may want to integrate a new third-party product with D2L (e.g., a new course tool or material from a content provider). First, please check if your integration is listed on the Approved Instructional Technologies List. If so, please click on the integration name and follow the provided instructions. If the integration you intend to use is not on the list, please speak to your Department Chair or Dean and have the Dean fill out the LMS Integration Request, located on the VTAC Self-Service page.
NOTE: Requests should be submitted six months prior to the desired implementation date. Lone Star College must secure a signed legal agreement from the vendor, which includes compliance with accessibility and FERPA requirements. The duration for the Office of General Counsel (OGC) and the vendor to finalize this agreement may vary. If the agreement is not completed at least three weeks before the semester begins, the integration will be deferred to the start of the following semester.
