The eLearning office will be closed from the afternoon of May 8th at 12pm until Monday May 13th at 7am. 

We will be checking email regularly while we are away, so if you need assistance with a password change or other assistance in Canvas or Angel please leave me a detailed description of the problem, whether it is in Canvas or Angel, your account information, and what class it is you require help in, and I try to assist you as soon as I can.

If you need a test reset or have a question about course content please contact your instructor. 

Thanks Cindy
