Canvas is a Learning Management System. It provides students with an online space to access course information.
All courses that you are enrolled in while at La Salle University will have a corresponding online course area in Canvas. It is up to your in-class instructors to decide which Canvas tools and features they will use. Online courses use Canvas for all course content, communication, assignments, and testing.
The Dashboard is the first thing you will see when you log into Canvas. You will see your courses and a "To Do" list of upcoming assignments. If you don't see your course on your dashboard, the instructor may not have published it. To check that you are registered for the correct courses, go to Br. Lewis on the my.lasalle.edu portal under tools. You can notify your instructor to publish the course.
Your Dashboard will look similar to this image:
