Welcome Weekend's Canvas Site
(for all incoming students)
Beginning mid-December, new students can access "Canvas," Notre Dame's online platform designed to facilitate teaching and learning. As a student, many of your courses will use Canvas to share information, enable collaboration and discussion, and provide feedback critical to your growth as a scholar. Canvas is also a tool that you can use to complete several required tasks as you step into your first semester at Notre Dame.
You will receive an email via your Notre Dame Gmail account when you’ve gained access to Canvas. Many of these tasks must be completed before Sunday, Jan. 14. Please use the directions below to access instructions and deadlines.
