ELMS-Canvas supports online learning at UMD. Most courses have some type of online content and ELMS offers access to the following:

The course instructor must first load the online content into ELMS.
This may not occur earlier than 24-48 hours prior to the course start date. Some instructors may wait until the first day of class.
Students who register late: It may take up to 24 hours for ELMS to give access.

During mandatory waitlist check-in, the first 5 waitlisted students are granted ELMS course access. To remain on the waitlist, see Waitlist Information - Mandatory Waitlist Check-in.
