Creating a new username

Can a student reset their Canvas login username like they can with their password?

To my knowledge, no, you cannot “reset” your username in Canvas.  You would need to speak with your school’s Canvas administrator or someone from their Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Ed department if there was an issue with usernames.  Often, if a school has set up their Canvas environment with a single sign-on experience, the change in username might affect more systems than just Canvas.  Again, it would be best for you to have a conversation with folks at your school about this.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your reply and advice, Chris! I contacted my direct administrator and was told students' usernames cannot be changed.
