Online Student Access

Introduction to Academic Technology Services

Most CSUDH courses, whether on campus or online, utilize an online learning management system ("LMS") — using the Canvas LMS platforms. In addition, to be able to participate in online courses, students may need to use the Zoom videoconferencing system, which is accessed through the course's LMS.

 

1️⃣ First, you will need your login credentials:

CSUDH Student Login Credentials (including your Student ID, Toromail, Password, and Duo Authentication)

(Issued 2-3 days after enrollment in first course)

Students who have NOT already received login credentials should contact the College of Continuing and Professional Education (CCPE) Registration Office during business hours:

Students who have received their login credentials but are having difficulty with logging in should contact the CSUDH IT Help Desk at:

  • CSUDH IT Help Desk: 310-243-2500 (Option 1)
    Monday–Friday 8am–6pm | Saturday–Sunday 9am–6pm PT
