Canvas

What is Canvas?

Canvas is a user-friendly Learning Management System (LMS) that helps students manage their courses online. It provides access to class materials, assignments, grades, and communication tools all in one place. Whether on a computer or mobile device, Canvas keeps you connected to your coursework anytime, anywhere.

• To access Canvas, students and staff go to canvas.latech.edu.
• To get the mobile app, you will need to go to your App Store or the Google Play store. Just search “Canvas” and it should look like a red, spotty circle.

Logging In

To login to Canvas, you will need your LA Tech username and password. For students, this username is the first 3 letters and numbers at the beginning of your email. For faculty, usernames are everything before the “@” symbol.

• If credentials are lost or forgotten at any point, please reset them on the password site.
• Users must also have DUO Mobile set up for their profile (this does not apply to Dual Enrollment students).

Need Help?

Canvas comes well equipped with 24-hour assistance for students and faculty alike. Once you have logged in, you will see a “Help” button located on the toolbar to the left of the screen. You will be able to access a range of assistance from contacting a professor to live chatrooms with Canvas experts.
