A Learning Management System (LMS) is software used to access online content in online and face to face classes. At UTPB, we use the learning management systems named Canvas by Instructure. This Orientation is hosted in Canvas available for students who are registered to participate for completion certificates.

When you finish registering for your courses at UTPB, your FalconID and password will be active in Canvas. The login page to Canvas is at the bottom of all UTPB web pages above the my.UTPB.edu button.

On the first day of classes according to the Academic Calendar . all UTPB online/hybrid courses and some on-campus classes are available in Canvas.

If you do not see a class appearing in Canvas, check these items:

Has term started? Check Academic Calendar
Is course on Canvas Dashboard? Be sure to look under the Courses icon and select All Courses.
Is course published? If not, send instructor email through my.utpb.edu, Outlook 365 asking when it will be available.
Does my.UTPB.edu show the class in your schedule? You may need to check with Advising, more about this in next module.

Want details about classes prior to the first day of classes? Information about courses, textbooks, and instructors is available through the Books, Evaluations, Syllabi & More link at bottom of all UTPB web page, next to Course Login button.
