Canvas FAQs

• What is Canvas?

  Canvas is an online educational environment that allows teachers to provide instructional support, class calendars, assignments and resources for students.

• How does my student access Canvas?

  Students can access Canvas using their current network username and password. If your student doesn’t know these credentials, please have him/her see the campus Library staff.

  Students can log in through single sign-on (SSO) or through the Canvas Student mobile app. Students can download the app from Google Play or the Apple App Store.

• Can parents access Canvas?

  Parents are able to access their student’s account as an “observer” beginning the first day of school. Parent Observer accounts have limited permissions that allow parents to see what is going on in a course without interrupting the flow of daily course communication. If there are issues with logging in, please contact the campus to get the correct HAC credentials.

  Canvas is available to Parents online through single sign-on (SSO). Parents can also access Canvas through the Canvas Parent mobile apps. The Google Play Canvas Parent app is available for download here, the iOS Canvas Parent app is available here.

• What is the difference between Canvas and HAC?
