About Canvas

Virginia Western Online > About Canvas

Canvas is Virginia Western’s course management system, where you can access your syllabi, course materials, assignments, tests, discussion forums, and course calendars.

At Virginia Western Community College, we believe that all students deserve a collaborative and supportive learning environment that addresses the unique needs of each student. The Canvas platform gives us an opportunity to reimagine learning and teaching to empower faculty and engage students to ensure their success.
