What is UC San Diego Online?

UC San Diego Online is UC San Diego's branded instance of Open edX. Open edX is an open source learning management system with a large supportive community. It is the same platform that powers edX.org.

UC San Diego is committed to providing global access to scholarship and research via UC San Diego Online. UC San Diego Online courses and programs thus provide opportunities to learn from and engage with the campus community for both matriculated and non-matriculated learners worldwide.

A separate platform, Canvas, is used on campus to deliver face-to-face, hybrid and fully online courses and programs exclusively for UC San Diego students and affiliates. If you are a UC San Diego affiliate looking for your Canvas courses, please log in to canvas.ucsd.edu using your Active Directory credentials.
