Canvas

Canvas is an education app by Instructure that lets students access and manage Canvas LMS courses anywhere.

Canvas supports students who need to keep up with classes while commuting or between activities. It brings course information, communication, and updates into a single mobile space so you can stay on track without a laptop. With quick access to materials and messages, it fits busy schedules and helps reduce missed tasks. For easier setup and use, you can download Canvas and sign in to your existing account to see your courses and updates right away.

Canvas features for students

Canvas keeps grades and course content available in one place on your phone or tablet. You can check scores, read materials, and see updates without opening a computer. Everything stays organized by course, which makes it simple to find what you need. This helps you quickly review progress before class or while moving between activities.

You can submit coursework directly from your device with Canvas. It supports turning in assignments while away from a desktop, which is helpful for tight schedules. Submissions go to the correct course and assignment, so your instructor receives them on time. This reduces the risk of delays when you are not near a campus computer lab.

Canvas includes a built in To Do list and calendar for tracking deadlines. You can see upcoming tasks, plan study time, and avoid last minute rushes. Due dates appear in a clear timeline, which helps you prioritize work across classes. This view is useful when juggling several courses in the same term.

Canvas makes it straightforward to send and receive messages with instructors and classmates. You can post to class discussions and take quizzes on the go, which keeps participation steady. Messages arrive alongside your course updates, so conversations stay connected to the right class. This consistent access supports quick questions and timely replies.

Canvas sends push notifications for new grades and course updates. You receive alerts when scores are posted, assignments change, or announcements arrive. Notifications help you notice important items without checking every course manually. This keeps you aware of progress and changes during busy days.

Canvas login and access

To use Canvas, you need a Canvas LMS account from your school or organization. Sign in with your institution credentials so your enrolled courses appear on your device. If your school does not use Canvas LMS, you may not see classes after login. Before any Canvas app download, confirm your institution supports Canvas and provides access details.
