Account Creation and Timing
It can take a bit of time for changes in the enrollment system to percolate over to Canvas, so if you have just signed up for classes it may be up to three hours before you will see the new course listed in the Canvas All Courses list. Similarly, if you just applied for admission to Palomar, it may take up to three hours for your Canvas account to be generated.
Questions about your course content?
Most of the questions students have about their Canvas courses revolve around the actual course content or course layout, so most questions really need to be asked of your instructor. To find contact information for your instructor, please visit the Palomar College Directory and either search for your instructor by name or look up the department contact information.
