Canvas for Graduate Studies

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

Log in with your Network ID and password (same as Sakai or 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.

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 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.

Graduate faculty will be responsible for backing up materials from Sakai and building their own course sites in Canvas.

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