Online Courses - Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment is required for students in an online course?

All students in online or blended courses must have access to a computer capable of using the Canvas site. A microphone and a headset are also often necessary.

You may contact the instructor or the main office of the department in order to find out what kind of equipment (e.g., headphones, microphone) is required, if any. For any online course, the minimum requirement is access to a computer with reliable internet connection.

Canvas

Courses offered online use the learning platform Canvas a great deal. If you are not familiar with Canvas, you should consult the help manual, which can be found online, as well as other online tutorials about Canvas.

Is there any special registration code needed for online sections?

No. You may register for this course if there are seats available and if you take responsibility for determining that you have the necessary equipment.
