Access guest account / Canvas

Problem

• How do I log in to Canvas with a guest (non-Miami) account?
• How do I log in to my Miami University Professional Education course in Canvas without a Miami University student or employee account?
• How do I change my Canvas guest account password?

Resolution

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 Miami University 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
