Canvas is the university's primary Learning Management System.
Canvas requires a TRACKS login account and FIT email address. (New students and faculty must wait until they receive their FIT email address to gain access to Canvas.)
Courses and enrollments are synced with PAWS; there is a 2-6 hour delay between PAWS and Canvas.
For HELP from within Canvas, simply click the Help link. The Canvas Guides are excellent.

Copying and pasting from PDFs removes formatting; it works better to copy from Word files to preserve formatting and links.
Syllabus shortcut: Go to the Syllabus menu on the left, then click Edit Syllabus Description. There, copy and paste your syllabus from Word.
