Canvas
Our online courses are offered through Canvas, SF State's learning management system.
Before the first class, students will have an orientation to online learning through a self-paced online course in Canvas. Students will also have an orientation to the program, available synchronously via Zoom, with on-demand access to the orientation recording. Both orientations are highly recommended but not mandatory.
The Online Success Coach will be your advisor and point person as you complete your degree. The Online Success Coach will help you through orientation and class registration, and will provide additional support to help you stay on track. Email us to schedule an appointment with the Online Success Coach.
