On May 20, 2019, State Fair Community College will introduce CANVAS, the new online Learning Management Software (LMS). Canvas will replace the current LMS (Blackboard). Courses that start with Blackboard prior to May 20, will continue to use Blackboard until the end of that course. No course will switch to Canvas during the semester. SFCC is committed to ensuring the transition to Canvas is a success.
As we transition to Canvas, it is important to note the following:
- Canvas will be used for the Summer and Fall (2019) semesters.
- All users can expect to receive email alerts for Canvas accounts and course enrollments. These emails will come from the Canvas Instructure system (notifications@instructure.com). It is important that you check your Inbox and Clutter or Junk Mail folders, just to be safe.
- The credentials used to log in to Canvas will change in May. Users will no longer use their nine digit ID Number to access online courses. Details of your new username, along with log in instructions, will be provided when access is granted.
If you have any technical questions or concerns please call the Help Desk at 1-866-295-3070.
