Gaining Access to Canvas

If you need access to a block web site in Canvas, contact your regional coordinator and inform them. The coordinator will begin the process. You’ll need a UW Net ID.

If you do not remember your UW Net ID, contact UW-IT at help@uw.edu.

If you do not have a UW Net ID, please contact your site coordinator.

Who has access?

• Students who are officially enrolled in your section.
• Students from other sections will have access as Observers.
• Block faculty and directors.
• Regional deans and administrative staff.
• SOM administrative staff.

In order for students to access a Canvas site, it needs to be published. Instructions for publishing a Canvas site are found in Publishing a Canvas course. Canvas sites should be published two weeks before the course begins.
