Log into Canvas

Canvas is the learning management system (LMS) used by Del Mar College to offer online, hybrid, and web-enhanced classes. It is an open and reliable web-based software that allows institutions to manage digital learning, educators to create and present online learning materials and assess student learning, and students to engage in courses and receive feedback about skill development and learning achievement.

For all credit, dual enrollment, and Continuing Education courses, information about users, courses, and enrollments must be managed in Colleague. The information is synced to Canvas every two hours. For a list of Canvas-related services provided by Del Mar College IT, please see the Get Help section on this page.
