Accessing Semester-based Wisconsin Online Collaboratives Canvas Courses

This document will outline how to access Canvas for courses in the semester-based degree programs offered in partnership with Wisconsin Online Collaboratives.

On the day that access to your semester-based course begins, you will receive an e-mail from your program's inbox. Click here for an example of what that e-mail may look like.

To access Canvas, simply click the Canvas link in your copy of the welcome e-mail that was sent to you. It should take you straight to your home campus Canvas log-in page. Use your home campus log-in credentials to enter Canvas and access your course(s).

A few things to keep in mind

UW Madison students: Please note that you will be sent a separate email prompting you to log into a different instance of Canvas than you may use normally. Be sure to follow the instructions in that e-mail promptly - once you do, our office will be able to move forward on granting you access to your course(s).
All students: If you are unable to log into Canvas and you are enrolled in one of the above programs, please contact your home campus help desk:
