Accessing Canvas at VCU

Canvas Courses and Enrollment

Course Creations: Courses are auto-generated via VCU's Banner (SIS) process before the start of each semester.
Course Enrollments: Primary instructors and registered students are auto-populated into their courses using the Banner system as well. Secondary instructors, TAs, and any other role need to be manually enrolled by the primary instructor.
- Refer to Managing your Course Roster for information on how to view and manage your roster, and the different roles and role permissions available to you.
- For instructions on how to enroll users such as TAs, secondary instructors, etc. visit: Manually Add Users to a Course
Non-VCU User Access (Affiliates) - granting access to users who are not officially a part of the VCU community but need access (affiliates) (i.e. guest speakers, outside programs, etc.)
Update your name - visit the Call Me By My Name page, which allows you to indicate a name/name of use, gender/gender identity and pronouns which will update across all VCU platforms.
Login issues could be a result of a problem with your VCU eID or Password. Your VCU eID is a username that authenticates you to many VCU web applications and electronic services.
