Summer Session 2

Summer break is halfway over; summer session 2 is underway and will run through the month of July.

• Summer Session 2: June 29 - July 28
• Dual Session: May 23 - July 28

As you have probably heard, NCCU is changing "learning management systems", also known as LMSs.  We are changing from Blackboard to Canvas.

Some instructors have been piloting Canvas over the last academic year, so some students may already have some familiarity with Canvas. 

All classes offered during the dual summer session period will be delivered via Canvas - and all courses offered during the second summer session (and later) will delivered via Canvas.

• Summer session 1: Blackboard or Canvas
• Summer session 2: Canvas
• Dual summer session: Canvas
• Fall 2023 (and beyond): Canvas
