Immediate Access allows students to use digital course materials, such as SAGE courseware, directly within Canvas from the first day of class. Instructors teaching courses that use SAGE materials can link these resources in their Canvas course so that students can access them seamlessly. This process ensures students receive required materials without needing separate purchase codes or additional setup. This guide explains how to add SAGE courseware to an Immediate Access course.
Prerequisites
To complete this guide, you must have:
- Instructor access to the Canvas course designated as an Immediate Access course
- An eBook adopted through the Wildcat Bookstore
- A SAGE account linked to your Chico State credentials
Step-by-Step Instructions
To add SAGE courseware to your Immediate Access course, do the following:
- In your Canvas course, go to Modules.
- In the module where you want to add the material, select the + icon.

- From the drop-down menu, select External Tool.
- Scroll down and click on SAGE Vantage LTI and you will be prompted to Login to SAGE where you can link your materials to Canvas.
Now the SAGE courseware is linked into your Canvas module allowing students to access it as part of the Immediate Access program.
Troubleshooting
- If you are unable to sign in to SAGE, confirm that you have an active SAGE account linked to your Chico State email.
