Financial Avenue Transition from Canvas to Cornerstone
As of June 15, 2026, the Financial Avenue platform previously accessed through Canvas is no longer available. Inceptia has ended its partnership with Canvas, and all Canvas-based Financial Avenue accounts are no longer accessible.
A new Financial Avenue platform will be available through Cornerstone beginning July 15, 2026.
What This Means for Students
- Students who have already completed the Financial Literacy Requirement through Financial Avenue in Canvas have received credit and do not need to take any further action.
- Completion records remain on file and will continue to be reflected on your financial aid dashboard.
- Students who did not complete the Financial Literacy Requirement before June 15, 2026, will need to complete the requirement through the new Financial Avenue platform in Cornerstone after it becomes available.
Next Steps
No action is required at this time.
Student Financial Aid Services will provide detailed instructions for accessing and completing Financial Avenue through Cornerstone once the new platform launches on July 15, 2026.
Please watch your NJIT email and this webpage for additional updates and instructions.

INCEPTIA - FINANCIAL AVENUE
New Jersey Institute of Technology has teamed up with Inceptia to give you a leg up on financial education via their online program, Financial Avenue. With Financial Avenue, the idea is to provide you with smart resources to help demystify the world of personal finance. Trust us – getting a handle on your money doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or restrictive. It’s all about empowering yourself with smart basics, and planning from there.
With Inceptia’s money mascot, the Knowl, as your trusty guide, you will have access to ten online courses that take on big financial topics, including:
| Psychology of Money | Earning Money |
| Foundations of Money | Credit and Protecting Your Money |
| College and Money | Spending and Borrowing |
| FAFSA | Debt and Repayment |
| Loan Guidance | Future of Your Money |
We get it, sometimes financial education can be pretty boring and it doesn’t always make a lot of sense if you don’t know how to put your knowledge into action. But, Financial Avenue keeps you on your toes with quizzes, videos, interactive tools, and action plans at the end of each course. With all these tools, we’ve made it pretty easy to know exactly what you can begin doing RIGHT NOW to put your financial knowledge to good use. After all, the Knowl says there’s no time like the present.
SAP Probation Students
At this time, we require students who are on SAP probation to complete a financial literacy module, College and Money. Students with an approved SAP appeal must use the link sent to them in their email to register for the College and Money module. Some other relevant modules we recommend include the following: Debt & Repayment, Spending & Borrowing, and FAFSA.
Benefits as a SAP Probation Student:
- Develop positive financial habits to reduce your financial worries
- Identify responsible ways to fund your NJIT education
- May help you explore opportunities you may have thought were not available due to financial limitations.
- You will acquire life-long financial knowledge and habits that will help you become economically responsible individuals during your time at NJIT and beyond graduation.
