Answers to all your pre-departure questions

The Compass Course will be one of your main resources in the months leading up to your time at DIS – covering the most essential information, tips, and FAQs for your time abroad. We’ve taken all the information most helpful to students and compiled it into one easy-to-access online course.

You are required to complete the entire course by the dates specified in your Registration.

When can you begin the course?

You can log in to Canvas and begin your Compass Course three days after you have completed these first three items in your Registration:

  • DIS Student Agreement
  • Confirm your DIS Academic Program
  • Personal Information

Access your Compass Course

Your Canvas login (where you access the Compass Course) is the same as your Registration login.

If you see your home university’s Microsoft sign-in page instead of the DIS sign-in page: You may already be signed in with another Microsoft account. Select Use another account (if available) or try signing in using an incognito window or a different browser.
