2 Canvas Accounts

[CherylAdelmeyer]

Can I keep each canvas account for both schools I attend?  If I cannot will my information disappear on one? I am attending summer school at one University, then switching back to the other one.

Hi CherylAdelmeyer,

Yes, essentially you would just have one account for each university, but sometimes sister universities and colleges will have shared Canvas accounts, which means you would have one account but see both universities courses,. There is no restriction on how many accounts could be active for you, so you can attend as many colleges and universities as you wish. Do note that the college or university may disable your account due to you no longer attending or being active, and you may want to swap them around on the app however, but you can see how to do this through the guide below for your device
