How to Prepare for School

Required

Create Your Student’s Logins

Your child needs an SIS username and password to access their online courses in Canvas, including orientation assignments. If your student does not already have login credentials, click below for instructions.

• View Login Instructions

  After adding your child to your parent account in SIS, they should receive an email with the subject line, "Action Needed: Create your SIS username and password." Please have them follow the instructions in that email to create their login credentials.

  Once your student has created their username and password, our system will generate a Canvas account for them with the same username and password. (The account will be generated in about thirty minutes.) Afterward, they can use their login credentials to access Canvas and complete orientation. 

  If you need help with these steps, please contact your enrollment advisor or our Customer Support Team.

Complete Student & Parent Orientation

It's vital that you and your student complete orientation to ensure the smoothest possible start of school.

Students should complete orientation assignments in Canvas between mid-June and the start of classes. Please have them log into Canvas, look for the WA Hub course, and follow the instructions posted there.

For parents, you can access our on-demand orientation videos right from our website.

  Completing orientation assignments is essential for new students, especially, to understanding how our online learning systems and classrooms work. 

  If your student joins Williamsburg after the start of a semester, please have them complete orientation as soon as possible and reach out to their mentors or our Customer Support Team for any help.
