Important Dates

The orientation for PSYC 23 is totally online, and you will therefore not need to report to an in-person orientation on campus. You will not be able to access the course, including the online orientation, until the first day of classes.  For the Spring session, the first day of class is Monday January 29, 2024 for the 16 week course. Fall session will begin Monday August 26 2024. 

CCSF online courses are delivered using Canvas. You will receive Canvas log in instructions via your CCSF Gmail account on or shortly before the first day of class. However, these instructions are also posted on the bottom of this page. These instructions will direct you to the log in page and provide detailed information about logging in. 

You will then need to wait until the first day of class to log in and begin your orientation. You must log in to the class by the end of the second day of class in the Fall. This is equivalent to showing up on the first day of a new class. If you do not show up, and you do not communicate with me about it, I will assume you changed your mind about the course and offer your spot to a student on the waiting list. 

Please contact me right away (sacollins@ccsf.edu) if you have trouble logging in to the class.
