CANVAS
Canvas is a learning management system that makes it possible for TUJ students to participate in online classes; providing access to assignments, discussions, quizzes, and grades via your laptop, desktop, phone, and/or tablet.
ACCESSING YOUR CLASS
Students access online and hybrid courses in Canvas , which is Temple University's learning management system. Depending on the instructor, some courses may be available up to 7 days prior to the class start date. Courses will be available no later than the first day of the term for asynchronous classes, and no later than the first class meeting for other classes.
If you just registered for a class, it can take up to 24 hours before you can access it in Canvas.

ZOOM
Zoom is an online web conferencing system. It is the tool that TUJ uses for synchronous online class sessions, where everyone logs in on pre-scheduled days and times. Some instructors may also use Zoom for hosting online conference sessions (office hours).
ACCESSING YOUR CLASS IN ZOOM
If your online or hybrid course has online synchronous components, this means that the class will meet live online using Zoom. Most faculty will have all Zoom class meetings scheduled within your Canvas course. A link for Zoom will be found in your Canvas course on the left-side menu.
ZOOM TECHNICAL SUPPORT
If are having difficulty accessing Zoom, please contact your instructor via the Canvas Inbox or TU e-mail to let them know that you are unable to log in to the live meeting.
