New! – The Spring semester begins today!
The Spring semester begins this week – so quickly after the holidays! Make sure you are prepared for your first
class by visiting EC Learn and reviewing your syllabi. Please note that all classroom assignments have been made
and can be found on the MySaints Portal. Your class information can be found on the Online Academic
Resources section, including room and instructor assignments and contact information.
New! – Generic Syllabi on the MySaints Portal
As many of you know, you can access generic syllabi on the Graduate Studies Student Portal section of the
MySaints Portal at any time throughout the calendar year. The syllabi are posted for prospective and current
students that want to review the general content and course description of the course if they are not registered
or if it is prior to two-weeks before the start of the course.
Prior to the introduction to EC Learn, this is where students went to find their first assignments. This notification
is to inform you that we’ve taken the first assignment and textbook information off of the generic syllabi found
on the MySaints Portal. You will be able to access your syllabi by logging on to EC Learn 2-weeks prior to the
start of class where you will find your specific course syllabi. We continue to encourage students to visit the
Emmanuel College bookstore website to find up to date information about your course textbooks.
