It is very important that you read over your syllabus at the beginning of the course and familiarize yourself with the course expectations. If you have any questions concerning your online or hybrid course, the first point of contact should always be your instructor.
At The W, Canvas student support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Please be mindful that students will not have access to courses until the first day of class. The date for the first day of class is located on the official academic calendar. Courses that are added or dropped are not immediately reflected in Canvas. Please check Canvas throughout the day to make sure that is has been processed. If it still does not appear, please contact ITS at 662-329-7282.
How do I Log into Canvas?
Respondus LockDown Browser™ is a custom browser that locks down the testing environment within Canvas. When students use Respondus LockDown Browser they are unable to print, copy, go to another URL, or access other applications. When an assessment is started, students are locked into it until they submit it for grading. Available for both Windows and Mac. Respondus LockDown Browser should only be used for taking online tests.
Students at The W have a free access to Brainfuse, a comprehensive suite of online tutoring, self-study, and collaborative tools designed for college students.
Pearson provides digital classroom resources, including eTextbooks, MyLab, Mastering, and Revel, for some classes at The W.
Your professor may use Zoom for synchronous classes or for online office hours and meetings.
