Frequently Asked Questions
We know that students have lots of questions. Hopefully we can answer some of those questions on this page. If you have a question that is not answered here don't hesitate to ask a member of our staff or faculty.
How do I get
to Cañada College?
What is the difference between a Schedule of Classes
and the Catalog?
The Catalog is published once a year and contains suggested
programs of study, a list of transferable courses, and degree
and certificate requirements as well as general information
on the college. The schedule of classes is published two times
a year (for Summer/Fall, and Spring )
and contains course listings and course descriptions specific
to that session/semester.
How do I view a Schedule of Classes?
WebSMART is a student, faculty and staff web resource for viewing college data. Use WebSMART to confirm class
dates, times, room numbers, instructor names, etc. WebSMART
does not include course descriptions. Students can register for classes, download transcripts, apply for financial aid and much more.
WebSCHEDULE provides a dynamic Searchable Schedule of Classes for Cañada, CSM and Skyline and includes course descriptions.
Printed Schedules are available on campus at the Bookstore, Library and Division Offices. Printed schedules are mailed to residences in the south peninsula and are also available at public libraries and community centers in Redwood City and surrounding communities.
