Using Canvas

Canvas is the learning management system and online space for all SSW courses. In Canvas, you may have access to the course syllabus, assignments, files, discussions and more depending on your course and instructor. All U-M students can login to Canvas at canvas.umich.edu using your U-M uniqname and password. You may also find it helpful to download the Canvas mobile app for your iOS device in the Apple App Store or for your Android device in the Google Play Store.

Students using Canvas for the first time may want to view the Canvas Overview video to get familiar with basic use on Canvas (including the dashboard screen, finding a course site, viewing reminders, and more). For questions or help using a specific Canvas feature, the Canvas Guide for Students may contain the information you need.

Once the fall term begins, note that official communication from the School is posted as a Canvas Announcement.

If you are having difficulty logging in to Canvas with your uniqname and password, please contact the ITS Service Center at 734-764-HELP (764-4357).
