Accessing Course Materials

Course materials will be provided on each course’s Canvas course site. You will receive an email notification once the Canvas course sites are available. To access Canvas on your laptop, visit http://canvas.cornell.edu/.

You will also be receiving software for your Biostatistics course during Class Weekends based on your computer’s operating system. Please be sure to indicate your computer’s operating system in the Pre-Program Survey as soon as possible.

Canvas

Canvas is a Web-based learning management system (LMS) which provides numerous tools and features to communicate and share course content. You will access Canvas for all syllabi, course packet information, announcements, and assignment details. To access Canvas on your laptop, visit http://canvas.cornell.edu/.

XanEdu

The EMBA/MS Program has partnered with XanEdu to provide digital course materials. You can access the materials from a PC, iPad, or Android tablet, for use anytime, anywhere. When the materials for each course are ready, a note will be posted on Canvas.

Textbook Fee

Our Program bundles the cost of textbooks and course materials into the all-inclusive tuition amount. You have the option to “opt out” and obtain certain of your own textbooks. Other textbooks, course packets, and all other course materials are not publicly available. Therefore, the costs for those books and course materials will continue to be included in the all-inclusive tuition amount and be provided by the Program. For more information and/or to opt out, please see the Executive MBA/MS in Healthcare Leadership Textbook Fee form.
