Connecting to Canvas & Zoom

Canvas

The Canvas learning management system is where you'll find curriculum for your course and interact online with your instructor and classmates. Your course will become available on Canvas seven days before the first day of class.

We recommend you check Canvas for any important announcements before your class begins, and forward Canvas notifications to your personal email address so you don’t miss any important communications.

Log Into Canvas

For more information on accessing your course in Canvas, see this instructional guide. For an introduction to using Canvas, including how to navigate your course and submit assignments, consider taking the free student Canvas orientation self-paced course.

Zoom Meetings

If your course uses Zoom for online class meetings, labs and/or office hours, check out the Zoom Student Guide for all the information you'll need to get started.

You can find a link to connect to any Zoom class meetings in Canvas.
