D2L
D2L, like all learning management systems, does not automatically save your work like other cloud-based tools. Please compose all discussion posts and other work in a self-saving site, like a Google Doc, first.
Online courses are conducted through our learning management system, D2L. The D2L site is: http://d2l.canisius.edu
Once you log into D2L, you will see a Demo Course link in the Help For Student widget.

Time Limit
Just as normal classrooms turn over at the end of each semester, all content, including all content authored by the student themselves (notes, assessments completed, and discussion posts), will be locked down at the end of each semester. We highly recommend that you do not use the learning management system as a storage area and that you save all of your coursework in a private location, such as a Google Drive.

Lastly, here are some resources that can benefit you as a Canisius College student.
Canisius College is a Jesuit School. We are led, inspired, and nurtured by the Society of Jesus, an order that is part of the Roman Catholic Church. We call ourselves Ignatian, in reference to St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order. But our students, faculty, and staff are of many different, and varying degrees of religious faith. We celebrate our multicultural community. Whether students are Catholic or not, they often draw personal strength, self-confidence, peace, and other benefits from Ignatian philosophy and habits of mind. Consider our online Examen, a web-based guide to self-reflection in accordance with Jesuit practice. | |
Guidelines, Policies & Procedures | Familiarize yourself with these. Even if you are halfway around the world, you are every bit as much a Canisius College student - a Golden Griffin - as anyone who lives and attends all classes on campus. As such, there are policies and guidelines in place to ensure your learning experience is safe, meaningful, and beneficial to you. |
