Am I using AXIS or Canvas?

If you are studying Foundation, Level 4 Business or Premasters, you will be using AXIS (Moodle) ONLY.

If you are studying Level 4 Integrated, you will be using Canvas for your lectures and AXIS/Moodle for your support classes with ARU College. You will have to use both platforms.

What is the difference between AXIS and Canvas?

AXIS is the ARU College student platform, whereas Canvas is the ARU student platform.

As an ARU College student, what do I have access to?

Even though you are an ARU College student, you are still a full Anglia Ruskin University student and you have the same access to services and support as any other ARU student. You may just have slight difference in the platform that you are using.

Do I have to attend all my classes?

Yes. You should be aiming to attend all your classes. Research shows that the students that attend the majority or all their classes do better than those that do not.

What happens if I have low attendance or engagement online?

If you are a student with a VISA, falling below 85% attendance can mean that your VISA will be withdrawn, and you will have to leave the university and the country. If you are a home student from the UK or EU with settled or pre-settled status, not attending tour classes or engaging online can mean we have to withdraw you from your course. We always want to avoid this, so if you are struggling, please let us know.

Will I lose marks for low attendance?

You will not lose marks in assessments or assignments for low attendance, but research shows that the students that attend the majority or all their classes do better than those that do not.

I am a level 4 Integrated student. Do I need to attend my ARU College Support classes?

Yes, those classes are there to support you and they are timetabled for you to attend.
