Free account vs paid account

[miahmiller]

Are individuals not associated with schools able to purchase a canvas account to publish online classes?

As far as I know, a paid Canvas environment is only available for schools and businesses that wish to use the full Canvas environment which also includes back-end administrative features.  A paid Canvas environment is generally not available for individual users.  You can read more about the differences between FFT and a paid Canvas environment by visiting this link:

Sorry I don't have better news for you, but I hope this helps to answer your question.

What about a tribal entity? We are hoping to teach language through the Canvas platform. We do want the paid version, do you have any pricing estimates you can share with me?

I don't work for Instructure, so I wouldn't be able to give you pricing information.  I think you can fill out this form, though, to connect with someone from their sales office.
