FAQs

Why can't I see the SuiteC tools in the Navigation settings (Step 3)?

This is likely because you are using a Project Site, and SuiteC is only available for official/unofficial courses. Please contact our help desk bcourseshelp@berkeley.edu and provide them with a link to your Project Site. They can make it into an unofficial course, which will allow you to have access to and use the SuiteC tools.

Do the SuiteC tools work on mobile?

The SuiteC tools will not work when using the Canvas App on a mobile device. However, there is some, albeit limited, functionality when using the browser on your mobile device, which varies depending on the mobile platform and browser. For optimal performance of these tools, it is best to use a laptop or desktop with a stable internet connection.

I only want to use one of the tools. Do I have to enable both tools in order for one of them to work?

You do not need to enable both of the tools in order for one of them to work.
