13. Go to Class/Login to Canvas
Class attendance is an integral part of the learning process. Students are responsible for their class attendance. Non-attendance is not a basis for a refund or nonpayment of tuition. If attending an online class, students must log into our learning management system, Canvas, and complete the census date assignment before the 10% point and submit an academic activity or be dropped from the course. Some courses have stricter attendance policies so students need to be aware of each class’s attendance policy.
