Canvas Information

What is Canvas?

Have you found yourself wondering about where to find your “online” courses or what a “hybrid” course is?

  • Canvas is utilized by faculty in a variety of ways for online courses, hybrid courses, and even face-to-face courses.
  • If you have a course that’s “hybrid”, make sure you go to the classroom in-person at the scheduled meeting day and time for the first class session.
  • Your professor will give you more information about how the hybrid class will be arranged on the first day.
  • Follow the easy steps below to access Canvas!

*Please note that not ALL courses will have a Canvas shell and most courses will publish within Canvas on the first day of class.
