In spring 2019, Cornell will begin to transition from Blackboard to Canvas as its academic learning management system (LMS). The decision to move to Canvas came after a yearlong review of Cornell’s LMS needs.
Faculty interested in using Canvas for the spring 2019 semester can sign up now to use Canvas. Fall 2019: All courses can be taught in Canvas; Blackboard will still be available.
Administrators say Canvas is easier than Blackboard to use and understand, it will improve student-centered learning, and it better prepares Cornell for future class needs.
In particular, it is very important that every student read the entire Code of Academic Integrity. Code of Academic Integrity Opens a Cornell link.
Hunger on college campuses, including Cornell's, can be a serious issue. Students who are food insecure may struggle both academically and socially as a result of reduced caloric intake, lack of nutrition, and interrupted eating patterns. Resources are available on campus and through Tompkins County programs and services. Cornell Dining offers students varied employment opportunities that include meal plan options as well as pay.
