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".
You can generate and send a pairing code for an observer in the Canvas Student app to connect with your account. The pairing code will expire in seven days or after one use.
The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.
