Canvas Learning Management System
Canvas is William James College’s Learning Management System (LMS). It is a cloud-based learning platform that provides students with a place to access course materials, including syllabi, readings, and more. All Canvas features are available through your computer’s web browser, and many features are available through the Canvas Student App, which can be downloaded through your App store.
Students will not have access to Canvas until they are enrolled in at least one academic course, so if you are a new student, you may not be able to login to Canvas until closer to your matriculation date. Once on Canvas, your upcoming semester courses will be visible to you on or before the first day of class. You will also have access to a an Orientation course which will guide you through our various technology resources, and more.
