Student Canvas FAQs

How do I get a Canvas account?

  • Students will automatically have an account created for them. 
  • Students will be loaded into Canvas courses approximately one-two weeks before each semester begins.  
  • Students should be able to log in and access their Canvas courses the first week of the semester, once your instructor(s) make the course(s) available.
  • An instructor must "Publish" a course before a student will see it listed under Courses. Until at least one course is available to you, the top navigation bar shows as Home.
