Common Login Mistakes

Mistake #1 - Trying to log into Canvas the same day you were registered for the course. Typically, you must wait one to two business days to have access once you have been registered.

Mistake #2 - Using your social security number or your as your user ID or password. You can not log in using either of these. Your Canvas ID is your Student ID number.

Example:
Jose Garcia
Student ID#: 880123456
User ID = 880123456

In Canvas, your password is the same as your Student Information System (SIS) password.
