Type your school's name and we'll point you at the right login page.

How Canvas login URLs work

Canvas is licensed to each school individually, so there's no universal student login — every campus gets its own web address. Most live at a subdomain of instructure.com (Canvas's parent company), like psu.instructure.com or lsu.instructure.com. Bigger schools often brand theirs with a custom domain: webcourses.ucf.edu, canvas.asu.edu, canvas.wisc.edu.

Whichever address your school uses, the credentials are the same: your school account (SSO), not a separate Canvas password. Full walkthrough — including the app's QR login trick and fixes for every login error — in our complete Canvas login guide.

Canvas login questions

How do I find my school's Canvas login page?

Most schools use the pattern yourschool.instructure.com (like ufl.instructure.com). If that doesn't work, your school may use a custom domain like canvas.fsu.edu — search your school's name plus 'Canvas login', or use the finder on this page for an instant answer at 40+ major schools.

What password do I use for Canvas?

Almost always your school account (SSO) — the same username and password as your school email and student portal. Most schools don't have a separate Canvas password, which is why Canvas's own 'Forgot Password' link usually does nothing.

Is every school's Canvas URL different?

Yes. Canvas is licensed per school, so each institution gets its own web address — either a subdomain of instructure.com or a custom domain on the school's own site. There is no universal canvas.com login for students.

What if my school doesn't use Canvas?

Some schools run D2L Brightspace or Moodle instead (Michigan State and UGA use D2L, for example). The finder on this page labels those schools honestly and still points you at the right login.
