Canvas is the learning management system used at Richland for all courses: Online, Hybrid, and to enhance traditional face-to-face courses. In Canvas, students can view their course syllabus and assignments, check grades, turn in assignments, and interact with their instructor and other students.

Mandatory Online Student Orientation

Richland Board Policy 4.1.2.4 (Technology Orientation) states that “All students enrolling in a course utilizing a learning management system are required to successfully complete the mandatory technology orientation.” Since all credit courses at Richland use Canvas, the Colleges learning management system, all students need to complete the Canvas Student Orientation before they will have access to their course(s) in Canvas.
