At Canisius College our courses are crafted by professors and programs using a combination of features best suited to the subject, discipline, and student level. As such no two courses are precisely alike. But many share common elements, so that as a student you will quickly find your way around and know what to do in the courses you take.

Here's the essential tools or spaces you will use:
MyCanisius (Portal)
Canisius College students can efficiently find everything they need (all but the most discipline-specific stuff, that they learn about within courses) in a single, convenient Dashboard called MyCanisius. It's linked on the Canisius College Website. So there's no need to save multiple links or passwords.
Every Canisius student is provided with a Canisius email address, and email is a common communication system within and across courses. Professors and support offices are never more than a few clicks away.

D2L is simple to navigate, so students can get to the important business in their courses quickly. Plus, D2L is mobile-responsive, so checking course content and even participating in discussions is easy to do from a phone or tablet.
Content
In all courses, there is content: the syllabus, other instructions, online readings, links, and other files that are the basis for the work students do in their classes. In a lot of Canisius courses, all content and activities such as discussions, videos, surveys, quizzes, assignments, and so on, can be found in a single schedule or calendar that makes it easy to know what to do the current week, the next week, or perhaps for the next fourteen weeks. Additionally, assignments, message board discussions, and other activities can be found in their own areas as well.
