Find your school's Canvas URL
To find your school or institution's Canvas URL, begin typing the name of your school/institution. Results will appear after you type at least 3 characters. For best results be as specific as possible. If you can't find your school, try using any part of your school's name or searching for your school district or state. You may also need to search for the school using the acronym or full name, for example "USU" and "Utah State University".
If your institution allows profile pictures, you can add a profile picture in the Student app.
The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.
Notes:
- Changing your profile picture in the app will also change the profile picture in your browser version of Canvas.
- If you cannot add a profile picture, your institution has restricted this feature.
