Tips

We recommend the Google Chrome browser for Canvas. Microsoft Explorer causes known issues in Canvas. Also be sure to check in the URL bar at the top of the screen to be sure the browser is not blocking external scripts. These may be labeled unsafe but only because they are external to Canvas.

Mobile Access

The Canvas by Instructure app is the mobile version of Canvas that helps you stay current with your courses anywhere you go. Please note: the apps are more limited in functionality than the desktop version of Canvas. We recommend submitting work and taking quizzes in the desktop version of Canvas.
