ANGEL - Introduction

What is ANGEL?

ANGEL is the online learning environment used by the University of Manitoba. Every course that is offered through Distance Education has a course website in ANGEL that is available in to all students in the course as well as the instructor. Most Online Study courses are delivered solely by ANGEL; students who are enrolled in Online Study courses should try to access their course website as soon as they receive their student handbooks in the mail. Students who are taking courses through other delivery methods can rely on their ANGEL course to access their grades and confirm receipt of their assignments by University staff. You need to claim your UMnetID and password to access ANGEL.
