Distance Learning

As a YCP student learning and studying from off site, we can help you.

Note: If you're a YCP professor/employee, please visit our Distance Working article.

Suggestions

  • Stay safe: Please install all operating system updates. Use Windows Security, if you have Windows 10 or above. If not, install a reputable anti-virus program with scheduled scans (contact us for more info). Please follow our cybersecurity guidelines.

  • Contact your professor: Each one decides how and whether to use canvas, what file formats are expected for assignments, which programs are needed, etc. They can give you the fastest answers about what they want, then we'll try to help you provide it.
