Online Learning
For more in-depth information about what it's like to take online courses and how to succeed in them, check out the interactive Online Student Readiness Tutorials.
Are online classes right for you?
Parking hassles? Scheduling Problems? Consider taking classes online. However, online learning isn't for everyone. Online classes require self-discipline, technical skills, and more reading and writing than classes taken on campus. To find out if online classes are right for you, fill out the "Is Online Learning For Me?" questionnaire.
Apply and Enroll
Students can enroll in many fully online and hybrid (partially online) courses at Cuyamaca College.
To find online classes, check the "Online Classes Only" option when searching or view the online classes list. Be sure to check instructor notes in WebAdvisor to find out if the instructor has any special requirements for the course, such as a required on-campus class orientation or software requirements.
The steps for enrolling and registering for online classes are the same as those for students on campus. See the Apply and Enroll page to find out how.
Start Classes
Most online classes are accessed through Canvas. Courses are usually made available in Canvas on the first day of class. If you log in to Canvas, but don't see your class, the instructor hasn't made it available yet. You can email your instructor to find out when it will be available.

If you need help using Canvas, use the help button in Canvas to find answers and get support.
