SPRING 2021 Session Begins JANUARY 25th  for Sierra College classes!

Get ready for your Sierra College course(s):

1. Log in to your My Sierra and look up your class schedule to verify your enrollment
2. Check your email for a welcome letter from your instructor (some classes)
3. Go to the Canvas link (located within My Sierra or from the homepage of www.sierracollege.edu)
4. Canvas is where your class will “live”
5. If your course is already open, review the site and your course syllabus
6. On the first day of classes (January 25) make sure you log in to your Canvas and review the welcome letter, syllabus and learn to navigate the class by clicking on all of the links to see where the instructor has posted information
7. Notice the calendar feature. If your instructor uses the calendar this is a nice way to keep track of due dates

If you are still on a waitlist on the first day of classes:

1. Email the professor of the course to request an add code
2. Tell them your name and which course you want to add including the CRN (course reference number)
3. The instructor may give you an add code or they may say to check back in a couple of days.
4. Once you receive an add code you must go into your My Sierra to officially register for the course.  Once you click on the course you will be prompted to enter the CRN to register.

I’ve included some tutorials here that you might find useful in navigating Canvas as well as the waitlist.
