FAQ
If you set up your own Canvas account, go to 'Login' and click on the 'Forgot Password?' link. Enter the login information associated with your Canvas account and click the 'Request Password' button. You'll be sent an email prompting you to reset your password. Once you’ve reset your password, return to the login screen to sign in.
If you're using Canvas as part of an institution account, you'll log in either from your institution's web page or by using its direct Canvas URL. Canvas Network accounts also log in with a Canvas URL. Find step-by-step guidance here. Note: You must have an account to log in to Canvas.
As an Instructor, you can create courses, add students, build or pull content to deliver curriculum, and more. As a Student, you can access your coursework, communicate and collaborate with other students, and view grades on desktop or mobile. Parents can be added as an observer, too!
To link yourself to a student, you'll need to enter a student-specific pairing code. Students can generate pairing codes from their User Settings. Depending on institution permissions, admins and instructors may also be able to generate pairing codes. For more info, visit our Pairing Code FAQ.
A few options to consider with an invalid pairing code: If the pairing code has been used by another observer (parent), you'll need a new code. If the pairing code was generated more than seven days ago, you'll need a new code. The pairing code needs to be entered exactly as it displays (they are case sensitive), without spaces. The pairing code needs to be entered from the same institution (i.e. Canvas URL) where your student is enrolled.
