Support Resources for Using Canvas

This course uses Canvas to organize weekly modules so you can easily find course materials, including content, assignments, and due dates. Please see the resources in the Pierce Online Student Canvas Orientation at the top of our course modules. This module provides an introduction to Canvas and details on how to add a Canvas profile picture and update your Canvas profile and settings. This is also where you will find a wealth of student, Canvas, and technical support resources. 

By the end of the first week of the term, all students should have resolved all technical issues and be ready to fulfill the requirements of the course.
