Overview

To log into Canvas at Indiana University, you must have a University account, an IU Guest account, or an IU group account. Canvas accounts are provisioned automatically by UITS for IU students, faculty, and staff.

If you have an IU Guest account, a Canvas account will be created for you the first time you attempt to log into Canvas. For instructions on establishing an IU Guest account, see About IU Guest accounts for Canvas and IU Expand.

Canvas accounts are not automatically created for group or departmental accounts. To establish a Canvas account for a group or departmental account, send a request to the Canvas at IU administrators. Once the Canvas administrators confirm the creation of the account, you can use your IU group account username and passphrase to log into Canvas.
