Access guest account / Canvas

Problem

• How do I log in to Canvas with a guest (non-Miami) account?
• How do I change my Canvas guest account password?

Resolution

Users registered for a Miami University Professional Education course should refer to the KB article for accessing Canvas Catalog

1. Check with the course instructor or coordinator to ensure that they have added your non-MU account to the Canvas course
2. If accessing the course for the first time, use the link in the Canvas course invitation email to create your guest account
   • Note: The link in the email will not work after the first use — follow Step 3 to log in
3. If returning to the course, use the Canvas Guest login page to access your course. You may wish to bookmark this page for future use
   • If your password is not working, select the Forgot Password? link and follow the prompts to reset your Canvas password
     • Your "Miami University-Login" is the email address you used to enroll in the course
     • Guest accounts do not use Miami's CAS authentication for single sign-on. Miami IT Services cannot reset guest passwords
