Brightspace vs Canvas
Purdue Fort Wayne classes
If you're taking a Purdue-taught course, just log into with your PFW username and password to access it. You can tell if you are taking a Purdue-taught course if there are five digits in the course number (e.g., PHIL 11000). You may also log in to with your PFW username and password. Once logged in, there will be a tile that reads "Access My Online Classroom," which will also take you to the Brightspace login when selected.
IU classes
IU-taught courses have three digits in the course number (e.g., HLSC-H 200) and can only be accessed by logging in to with your IU username and password. You may also log into with your IU username and password. Once logged in, click on the Canvas tile, which should take you straight to your dashboard where you'll find a list all of your IU-taught courses. If you don't see the Canvas tile, search 'Canvas' in the search box (the one that says "What would you like to do?") and select it from the list of options.
Opt In For Emergency Mobile Alerts
Be in the know with Rave Alert, the emergency-notification system that alerts students, faculty, and staff when there is an emergency on campus or a campus closing. Purdue Fort Wayne manage Rave Alert but all campus emergencies and closures effect IU Fort Wayne faculty and staff.
