Canvas Resources for Students


What is Canvas?

Canvas is the online learning system used at East Los Angeles College and across LACCD. You’ll use Canvas to access your course materials, submit assignments, take quizzes, view grades, and communicate with your instructors. Whether your class is online or meets in person, chances are you’ll use Canvas for at least some part of your coursework.
