Office 365 is FREE to Parkside Students!
Students! Remember that you have free versions of Word, PowerPoint, and Excel through your Rangermail account!

Simply log into the web version of your email and click on the grid icon at the top left of the screen. You even have the option to download desktop versions of Office 365 to use until you graduate.

Your OneDrive account has one terabyte of storage, so it's the perfect place to organize all of your schoolwork! Store assignments directly in OneDrive, or download them to save hard copies on your computer/device.

OneDrive also makes it easy to collaborate with your classmates on group projects or assignments. You can share files with classmates and work on documents at the same time.
Self-Enroll in the Canvas Student Resources training course
All Parkside students will have access to the Canvas Student Resources course in Canvas, even if you do not have a course hosted in Canvas this semester.

The course is full of documentation and an interactive tutorial for you to reference should you have any questions about the new learning management system.

The Canvas Student Resources course will not populate for you automatically, though. You will have to self-enroll into the training course using this self-enroll link .

If you do not want to self-enroll into the course, you are able to access the interactive tutorial through the UWP website .
