8 Canvas

Online Learning

Palomar College uses Canvas as the learning platform or learning management system (LMS) for all our online courses. Many of our face-to-face classes also use Canvas to house documents, announcements, discussion boards, links, and other supplemental information to enhance the in-class learning.

Canvas is supported by Palomar College’s Academic Technology Department. All students at Palomar have access to Canvas each semester that they are enrolled. You may login to Canvas. For tutorials on how to use Canvas, please visit the ATRC Student Canvas information page.

It is STRONGLY advised that you attend any orientation sessions held for any online classes you may enroll in. Each instructor uses the online LMS differently and structures their class in different ways. The orientation meetings allow you to start the class on the right foot, get your questions answered, and make sure that you understand the requirements.
