Access Your Canvas Course

Enrollments in Banner are automatically populated in Canvas. When you are assigned as an instructor of a course, the course will be added to your Canvas account. The most common ways to access courses within Canvas are from the Dashboard, Courses menu, or the To Do list.

USU Canvas Login

Dashboard

The Dashboard will display a card for each course you are assigned to teach or added as a student (for support or training courses). Click on the card with the title of your course to access the course homepage.

See Dashboard Customization to learn how to customize the Dashboard.

Courses Menu

Another option is to access a course through the Courses link on the global navigation menu. You can access this menu while you are in a course, so this is a handy way to switch between courses.

To Do List

The To Do list will be populated once students start submitting things to your class and those items need to be graded. Once available, you can click on the title of the assignment and it will take you directly into the SpeedGrader for that assignment within the course.
