Canvas
To log into the UPenn Canvas site, see https://canvas.upenn.edu
You must manually request a Canvas site for each of your classes every semester. Canvas course pages are not created automatically. You can request that previous course pages be carried over so that you're not recreating the same content for each semester. To request a Canvas course page be created, see https://dla.library.upenn.edu/siterequest/
Class Email Listserves
ISC has updated the instructions for emailing your class.
Log in to Courses@Penn and go to "Class Lists." Once you've searched for and displayed your class list, you'll see the listserv address near the top of the list.
Telephones
Office telephones are by default configured to deliver voicemail messages as an attachment to your email. You do not need to use the actual handset to access your voicemail.
