Hi  @no76  

This is a global community of Canvas users, rather than the support department for your school, so your specific course information is really rather meaningless to us. Still I will try to help you in a general way. For more specific information and support, you will need to to contact whomever at Rutgers is responsible for Canvas administration and support.  I did find the Education Technology webpage for Rutgers, and there is contact information for support on that page.

I also located some Sakai resource in this community that your can check out...............

• Sakai LTI Integration LMS for Faculty 
• Sakai Migration Materials Shared by Stanford 
•  

I also noted your last question about setting up a course which is not in the official schedule at Rutgers. If your school permits faculty to do so, this guide will show you how to create a new course shell in Canvas https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12819-415241327 

Good luck with all of this,
