Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I add or "crash" an online class after the last day of registration? 
    • Students need to contact the instructor shown on Webadvisor, directly, to be added to an online class.  Instructor emails are found on the department home page or you can use the

       

      STAFF DIRECTORY

       

      to locate their information.  Please note that students are not allowed to add a course after the last day to drop for the semester so give yourself at least 24 hours before the last day to drop to successfully get added.  Additionally, if you are not signed up for a course, it is the instructor's choice to approve your add.  If the class is too far along, the instructor may not allow you to add.  
  • Where do I find which books I need for my class? 
    • If the instructor requires a book for the course, you may find this information by going to the

       

      Cuyamaca College Bookstore link

       

      and searching your courses. You may also log into the course on Canvas and look in the syllabus for the book. If the information is pending at the bookstore and your course is not open on Canvas, I encourage you to email the instructor.  
  • Where do I access my course to see content, grades, assignments, and other information?
