A few frequently asked questions to help you get oriented.
Canvas is LMU's web-based learning management system. It's used to share course materials, collect assignments, record grades, and communicate with students.
Chrome is the recommended browser for Canvas, with Firefox as a backup. Avoid Internet Explorer and Edge, and use Chrome instead of Safari even on a Mac. If you run into issues, try switching browsers first, it often resolves the problem.
Teaching assignments come from the Registrar, not the CTLE. Once your College/School submits your assignment to the Registrar, it automatically feeds into Canvas and grants you instructor access, plus WebAdvisor (Faculty Tools) access on MyLMU.
Your Canvas account is auto-generated by HR and IS around your contract start date. The CTLE doesn't create Canvas accounts. If your start date has passed and you still don't have access, check with your Dean/Chair to confirm your course assignment was sent to the Registrar. Once your account exists, log in through MyLMU. You never log in to Canvas directly.
