Information Resources & Technology is working to make Zoom available for instructional use in Canvas for the fall semester. While we are bringing this service online, you may be able to access Zoom using your Rowan Network account. Please be aware that this access and some features within Zoom may be unstable as we finalize the configuration. We will provide an update when Zoom is fully available.
University business must be conducted through Webex, which is the approved video conferencing tool for all University activities. Either Zoom or Webex may be used for coursework within Canvas. Employees with legacy Zoom accounts will be handled through a separate process. Usage of Zoom and Webex must comply with all University policies and procedures.
As part of the Zoom configuration process, employees and students who have signed up for Zoom using their Rowan email address may be prompted to merge their accounts into the University’s main account.
If I am prompted to merge my Zoom account, what do I need to do?
If you are an instructor and are using your Zoom account within Canvas, you should merge your account with the Rowan University account when prompted. After you merge your account, you will be able to access Zoom via the web through rowan.zoom.us. For the fall semester, we are only making Zoom available to instructors and students with classes in Canvas; others without prior approval may lose access.
If you are using your Zoom account for personal use unrelated to the University, you should choose the option to change your email address to a personal, non-Rowan email account.
Visit Zoom’s support website for step-by-step instructions on merging your account or changing your email address.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Technology Support Center at 856-256-4400, or submit a ticket in the IRT Support Portal.
