UCNI Two for 26 - Let's Get Ready for Fall 2026

The "2 for 26" initiative is a phased approach to transition all our Western Online courses into the new UCNI (universal course navigation and interface) shell and D2L's New Content Experience by the start of the Fall 2026 semester. With 2 for 26, we will focus on completing two steps or tasks each month as we update our courses in the UCNI shell. We will learn two skills per month toward getting ready to teach in the new course template and standards by Fall 2026.

You're not alone; resources, training, and guidance will be provided every step of the way!
