Canvas / Unable to access as a new instructor

Issue

  • I cannot access Canvas as a new instructor. I used a non-Miami email address to sign up for Canvas

User

  • Canvas Instructor

Environment

  • 10185: Canvas

Rationale

  • New faculty should have a Miami account set up before being added to Canvas as the instructor

Resolution

  1. Contact your department to verify that you have been correctly assigned as Instructor of Record on your Canvas course
  2. When you receive notification that your Miami account has been created, log in to Canvas using your Miami UniqueID and MUnet password

 

Notes

  • Miami Online offers Canvas training
    • Office hours and support will be offered throughout each term. Look for an announcement in Canvas and an email to all faculty.
    • Resources for using technology. guides, and best practices can be found on the Miami Online website
  • Visit the Canvas Status Dashboard to check performance information for Canvas services
  • Instructure provides up-to-date instructor documentation and instructions for Canvas
