How do I log out of Canvas as a student?
How do I log out of Canvas as an instructor?
If you logged into Canvas through MyPortal you MUST log out of MyPortal, too. Logging out of Canvas does NOT automatically log you out of MyPortal.
Course not showing for students?
Instructors control student access to their Canvas course sites. Therefore, all enrolled
students will have to wait until the instructor creates then publishes the Canvas
course site for student access. This may be why you either do not see the course in
Canvas or are receiving an error message in Canvas stating you are not enrolled in
the course.
Most instructors will not make their Canvas course sites available to enrolled students
until the course start date, unless otherwise notified by the instructor. You can
check for the course start date in the Class Schedule.
Note: Waitlisted students do not have access to Canvas course sites.
I am in a different Time Zone
If you plan to access Canvas from a different time zone make sure to change the setting in Canvas so that it shows the right time zone for where you are located.
