Herzing runs all its online coursework in Canvas, which you reach through the Herzing student portal (MyHU) along with your email, financial aid, and support. Because it is fully asynchronous — there are no set times you must be online — the classroom holds each week's readings, discussions, and assignment drop boxes, with your grades and rubric feedback in the same course, and it is on you to keep the pace. The habit that helps: log in at the start of the week, look at what is due, and hold to a schedule the classroom does not impose for you.
MyHU is the hub, Canvas is the classroom
Two systems, two jobs. MyHU (the student portal) is where you reach Canvas, your Herzing email, financial aid, IT support, and the Career Center. Canvas is where the learning happens. Bookmark both, because course work lives in Canvas while account and support tasks live in the portal.
Fully asynchronous means the pace is yours
There are no scheduled live class times; you log in when it works for you. That flexibility is the appeal and the trap: with nothing forcing a weekly rhythm, it is easy to drift. Setting your own weekly schedule — treating due dates as fixed even though attendance is not — is what keeps an asynchronous course from slipping.
How a Herzing course is laid out
A Canvas course holds each week's readings and activities, the discussions, and the assignment submission areas, with your grades and rubric feedback in the same course. Read the rubric attached to each assignment before you start, because in an asynchronous course the rubric is the clearest statement of what is expected.
Where a tutor fits
We help you keep an asynchronous course on track: understanding the week's assignments, building work to the rubric, and holding a steady pace so the flexibility of no set class times does not turn into falling behind.
