Getting Started in Canvas

How do I get started in Canvas?

You can log in to Canvas by going to https://una.instructure.com, following the Canvas link on the UNA website, or using the Mobile App. If you aren't sure how to start, take a look at the Canvas Resources (Orientation Course, Guides, Video Guides, Community Forums) and common issues below. If you need technical support, submit a help ticket in Canvas by going to the Help menu, then Report a Problem. UNA Canvas support should reply within one business day. Please note that you will receive support responses at your UNA email address, not inside Canvas. Correspondence received during university closures, holidays, and weekends may not be addressed until the next regularly scheduled business day at UNA.
