Important Note for Zoom Users
Students can use either the Zoom app to join class meetings, or join through your web browser. If you have the Zoom app installed on your computer or mobile device, when prompted to update, please do so and restart the app.
If you are unable to update your Zoom app immediately and are given the opportunity to join through the web client, take that option and update your Zoom app as soon as possible.

New to Canvas?
Canvas provides an online classroom with tools for accessing course content, assignments, discussions and exams, depending on what your instructors choose to use. You will need a modern computer with updated an Web browser (Chrome is highly recommended) and an Internet connection.
There's also a Canvas student app that allows many but not all Canvas features to be accessed. There are step-by-step Canvas Student Guides that show you how to perform common tasks in Canvas, from changing your profile to submitting an assignment.

Meetings are sometimes recorded and available for later viewing.Within Canvas: Some instructors will direct you to access Zoom meetings from within your Canvas course. Look in the course navigation menu on the left for Zoom.
Outside of Canvas: Your teacher may send a link for a Zoom meeting to you through email. If they do, click on the link before the meeting is scheduled to start to join. You may be prompted to download the Zoom application. Do so. Read the Zoom quick-start guide for students (outside of Canvas) for instructions
