Before you begin your course, we need to give you some important information. In order for students to obtain access to a CANVAS course site, students will need to complete the following steps:

  1. Connect to the Internet.
  2. Use either the Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome Browsers.
  3. Start on  College Website
  4. Login to the portal using the username and password.
    Username: Your School Email Address or Your CWID Number
    Password:     Your Selected Password
  5. Click the CANVAS Tab.
  6. Click the link to CANVAS Classes.
  7. Go to My Dashboard and click the link to access the class.

You will not be able to access your course until you are officially enrolled in the particular course. Once you are officially enrolled in the class, you will be automatically enrolled in CANVAS and have access to the Course page from any computer both on and off campus using CANVAS.

Note: If you do not see the class listed under "Dashboard", please contact the instructor. The course site could be unavailable or you are not enrolled. It can take up to 24 hours for the enrollment information to be updated in CANVAS.
