eLearning Information for Students
Questions about Canvas? Help for students is here!
Starting this fall, our new Canvas Help Desks will be available to help all students with common questions about Canvas. If you're a student and you're having trouble with Canvas, stop by one of our three locations to get help in person from another EvCC student. Common issues that we can help you with include problems with logging in, resetting your Canvas PIN, and courses that you're unable to access.
Help Desks are located in the Library (Parks Student Union), Gray Wolf Hall (2nd floor near room 268), and Whitehorse Hall (2nd floor, near the south entrance).

What is eLearning?
The eLearning department at EvCC supports students and faculty in using the college's learning management system, Canvas. Canvas is an online tool that can be used in multiple ways to support teaching and learning. Courses that use Canvas can be designated as fully online, hybrid, and Web-enhanced. For support or questions, you can contact eLearning at elearning@everettcc.edu.
Am I ready for online learning?
To determine if online learning is right for you, ask yourself these questions:
- I can organize my time well, even when managing multiple demands.
- I have good reading and writing skills.
- I use the Internet, e-mail and word processing software regularly.
- I can spend 10-15 hours a week on each class.
- I enjoy working independently.
If you answered "yes" to most of these statements, online courses may be a good option for you.
How do I enroll in an online course?
- Registration policies for eLearning courses are the same as for on-campus courses.
- If you have not yet been admitted to the College you should submit an application for admission well in advance of the quarter you wish to start classes. Visit Enrollment Services' How to Apply page for information on completing the online application, or speak to someone in Enrollment Services (425) 388-9219.
- All new students should request an EvCC Student I.D. number from Enrollment Services. For more information, call Enrollment Services at (425) 388-9219 or visit the EvCC Enrollment Services webpage
Can I use financial aid for eLearning courses?
- Students receiving financial aid may use this funding to pay for eLearning courses. Visit the EvCC Financial Aid webpage or contact the Financial Aid Office at (425) 388-9280 with any questions, prior to enrolling.
How can I take placement tests if I cannot come to campus?
There are several ways to do this depending upon your situation. If one of the following does not apply to you, please contact Christie Eden in the testing center at 425-388-9088.
- Find a place near your location that offers Asset, Accuplacer, or Compass testing. You may be able to test at this location and send your scores to the Enrollment Services office.

Where do I get my textbooks?
