Distance learning can be an excellent way to achieve your educational goals, especially if you need a more flexible schedule or cannot come to campus. Keep in mind:

  • Online courses require as much time and commitment as classroom-based courses.
  • Most communication with instructors and classmates will be in writing (email, discussion forums, chat, blogs, wikis, or other tools in Canvas).

Getting Started with Canvas

All classes use an online learning management system (LMS) called Canvas.

Self-Service

Self-Service lets current students register, pay fees, view class schedules, grades, GPA, and transcripts, and more.
