2. Online Classes: Make sure you check your student G-mail in MyCoast for information from your Instructor regarding your class. On the first day of the term, to access your online courses in our CANVAS learning management system, go to the Coastline College Website and click on the "Canvas Login" link. Then, click the link to enter Canvas using your MyCoast username and password. (Note: If you used Canvas at Coastline College in prior terms, your old Canvas password will no longer be recognized by the system. We recommend you use your MyCoast username and password to log in by clicking the link noted above.)
3. Be There: Attend the first class meeting. If you miss the first class meeting, or arrive late, your instructor may give away your seat to another student.
4. Waitlist Classes - Online Classes: If you are on a waitlist for a class, email the instructor to request an Add Code. The instructor may give you an add code to register in the class if seats are available in that class. You may look up the instructor email address in the Campus Directory.
