ONLINE LEARNING TIPS As we enter summer quarter, we want to offer you support for online learning. Here’s how to log in to your online course:
Log In to Canvas Visit canvas.northseattle.edu/login/canvas Enter your Student ID (SID) and your password. • You receive your SID when you register for your course. You can find your SID in your confirmation order email from conted@seattlecolleges.edu. If you don’t see it, check your junk/spam folder. • Your password is the first eight characters of your last name in all lowercase letters, excluding any punctuation or spaces. • If your last name has fewer than eight letters, repeat from the start until you have entered eight characters and then click Login. Example 1: Your Student ID is 925110000; your last name is Washington • Use 925110000 for the Username. • Use washingt (lower case) for the Password. Example 2: Your SID is 925110000; your last name is Park • Use 925110000 for the Username. • Use parkpark for the Password Be sure that your contact information, including email address, is correct and up to date in Canvas.
Log In to Zoom You will receive a confirmation email for your class with a link to a scheduled Zoom meeting from conted@seattlecolleges.edu. If you don’t see it, check your junk/spam folder. When you come to the meeting/classroom, you may be in a waiting room. No one can see or hear you. Please try to arrive at least five minutes before the class start time. When you join the meeting your camera (video) and audio will be muted. Download Zoom in advance and start to familiarize with it: https://zoom.us/ Here are a few additional tips to help make your online learning experience as smooth as possible: • If you can, try to create a dedicated study space that’s quiet, organized and comfortable. • Keep water and healthy snacks on hand to keep your brain and body fueled. • Take breaks when you need it. Move your body, take some deep breaths or step outside for a breath of fresh air. • Be patient with yourself—adjusting to online learning is a big change. Give yourself the freedom to experience some bumps along the way; your classmates and instructors are likely experiencing the same challenges. If you need additional help, check out the links below.
