Timeline

  1. June-July: Students register for IDT 200.
  2. By August 2 (end of day): Students will receive instructions from their IDT 200 instructor about how to access their Canvas course site. Instructions will be sent via MySJSU messaging and by email. Canvas accounts will be activated by the university before IDT 200 begins. See Getting Started with Canvas.
  3. August 3: IDT 200 course sites become available. Students are strongly encouraged to begin the course work prior to the official start of the semester in order to better prepare for their other classes.
  4. August 19: Fall semester officially begins. All new students should be 1) registered in IDT 201 on MySJSU, and 2) enrolled in the course site on Canvas.
  5. September 15: IDT 200 course completion deadline. This deadline is firm. Students who do not successfully complete the course by this date will have a hold placed on their registration for the next semester. 

    **Be aware that MySJSU may list the dates for IDT 201 as August 19-December 7. Ignore those dates. The class will be available starting August 3 and will end September 15.
