Canvas Resources and Support
Canvas is the learning management system (LMS) used to facilitate the delivery of courses at all Miami University campuses. Access all online and hybrid courses through Canvas. As a Miami student, you also have access to many digital resources to connect you with your courses.
Setting your Time Zone in Canvas
Course due dates by default are set to display in Eastern Time (EST/EDT). To avoid time zone confusion, set Canvas to display your local time zone. Displaying dates in your local time may help you stay up to date on assignments and due dates, especially if your course time zone differs significantly from where you reside.
For more information about time zones and which time zone you are located in, please visit the Time and Date website.
