Canvas for Graduate Studies

Accessing Canvas

Go to https://canvas.providence.edu/  

Log in with your Network ID and password (same as Outlook)

If you need your password reset, please contact helpdesk@providence.edu 

If you are already logged into Microsoft Outlook, your credentials should ‘pass through’ to Canvas.   

Course sites, including add/drop, will be managed by Banner’s enrollment system.  You will not need to add or remove students from the roster manually.

Additional Canvas Resources

The Canvas Community website is a great resource for all things Canvas. It includes guides, question forums, and troubleshooting resources.

Training videos on Canvas are available here.

Canvas Support

Canvas Tier 1 support can be reached for live support by click the “Help” button in Canvas, and selecting “Chat with Canvas Support (for Faculty)”. Instructure’s chat support is available 24/7 to PC Faculty and Students.

If none of the above avenues resolve your issue, or if you are not sure where to start, email CanvasHelp@Providence.edu to contact a member of the TLT team.

What to Expect

TLT will send an email when courses are created and a reminder to Graduate faculty for any course site merge requests.
