The Learn Anywhere website is the primary learning resource for students and is regularly updated. We also offer many learning workshops and resources to help you with your academics, from reading and writing communications, to math and statistics and learning strategies. Our online resources page will help you access and manage your online courses.

Your instructors are aware that you may need to miss class due to illness symptoms or self-isolation. If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, please stay home and do not come to class/campus. Medical documentation is not required. If you do have to miss class, contact your instructor as soon as possible. You can also ask classmates for notes and/or access Brightspace to see if your instructor(s) have posted any recordings, slides or other materials. Depending on the length of your absence, you may also ask for a deferral or accommodation. If you are ill and unable to complete your coursework or exam, you may seek information on academic concessions.

If you are looking for accessibility services, or face a learning disability, mental health issue or other long-term physical or sensory challenges and need academic accommodations, The Centre for Accessible Learning (CAL) can help address barriers to your education. We also offer an Online Assessment Room to support students with a registered academic accommodation who is in a course with online invigilated assessments.

We have a number of technologies to assist your learning. Brightspace is UVic’s central course hub and primary Learning Management System. Echo360 is a video platform with tools to create and share videos, record in-person and online lectures and engage students with Q&A and polls before, during and after class. We also have tools to help you communicate with your peers (Zoom and MS Teams) as well as tools for building websites (Online Academic Community – OAC) and to assist STEM courses (Mobius). 

Academic Integrity is critical to your success as a student. It requires commitment to the values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. You are responsible for the entire content and form of your work both on campus and remotely. We offer a great Brightspace course (self-paced): Integrity Matters which will teach you the fundamentals of academic integrity at UVic.
