Many of our courses here at Skagit Valley College are available online. To locate the online course offerings, you will need to use the Course Schedule Search tool.

The tool has drop-down menus you use to search courses offered by quarter, department and location. Note that “Location” drop-down menu allows you to select “Online”; click “Search” to display the results.

The registration process for all courses at SVC follow the same process. Check out the information provided by Enrollment Services for exact steps and timelines for registration.

SVC uses Canvas for our online classes, which can be accessed through the website or the Canvas App. Use your MySVC email address and password to log in. 

Even classes that are not online usually utilize Canvas! View our Training & Help page for help with Canvas.

Online courses follow the same schedule as all SVC courses. You can expect to see your courses in Canvas on the first day of the quarter, as listed on the SVC Important Dates calendar.

Note that some instructors may make their courses available before the quarter begins or wait until a few days after the quarter begins.

In general, you will need a computer with reliable internet connection that can run Canvas, as most online coursework is done through Canvas. Review the browser and computer requirements for Canvas to see if your current device is up to date and will be able to run Canvas. Canvas will still run with the minimum specifications, but you may experience slow loading times. If your computer does not meet minimum requirements, you will likely be missing some content and be unable to fully participate in your classes. 

If you need a laptop or hotspot for internet, you can check them out from the campus libraries. 

You can quickly search Canvas guides and report performance problems from anywhere within Canvas using the “Help” link located in the lower left of your screen. You can also contact eLearning at eLearning@skagit.edu.
