Canvas

All Florida Tech courses, whether taught in-person or remotely, are hosted using the online Canvas application. 

You may log into Canvas directly or from the university website.

  1. Go to the university website.
  2. Click on LINKS FOR and then STUDENTS at the top of the page. 
  3. Click on Canvas under Academics

Once you log into Canvas, you will choose which of your classes you wish to access.  The Canvas site for your class, which may resemble the image below, will provide such content as the class syllabus, schedule, reading assignments, and project assignments and due dates.  You will often submit assignments using Canvas, and will be able to review the grades you have received to date on exams and assignments.

Canvas Apps

Apps, which may be downloaded for free, will allow you to access Canvas via your smart phone or tablet.
