Canvas
Canvas is NIH's learning platform, and all your courses will have their own digital classroom. You will find information about the subject, coursework, assignments, course requirements, and assessments.
To access to your courses in Canvas, you must be registered for the course and as a current student. Normally you are registered automatically when you approve your education plan in StudentWeb.
The instructor must also have published the course plan in Canvas. Most subjects will be available to you from the beginning of the semester, though not all.
In calendar-mode, you will see an overview of all "study events" in the form of activities and dated assignments.
