Canvas accounts are automatically generated after an instructor has been assigned a course in Banner (you can expect up to a 12 hour delay between the Banner assignment and the Canvas account creation). The University asks that anyone new to Canvas completes a training course called "Growing with Canvas" which can be found on the Canvas dashboard after logging in. Follow the below steps to access the training:
- Go to auth.slu.edu and log in using your SLU credentials
- Find Canvas from the list of applications or search for Canvas in the search bar at the top and click on the square that pops up
- You will load into your Dashboard, and should have a tile called Growing with Canvas, click into that course
- Once in the Growing With Canvas course. select Modules from the menu bar on the left
- Start with the module called Planting and make your way down all the modules in the course
- It is highly recommended that after completing the course you watch the tutorial videos under the Recordings of Canvas training sessions module
