4. If you log into Canvas but do not see any of your courses/projects, keep in mind one of the following:

Canvas Login

a. If your subscription period has not yet started, no courses will be present in the Canvas learning environment. Courses will become available on the first day of your subscription period

b. It is possible that your browser settings, 3rd party password manager, or another convenience feature is automatically logging you into the wrong campus’ Canvas.

                                                               i.      Log out of Canvas.

                                                             ii.      Close all browser tabs / windows and navigate back to uws.instructure.com. Again, be sure to uncheck the “Remember my selection for this session” box.

                                                           iii.      You can also try clearing your browser’s cache.

                                                           iv.      You may want to try using a different browser if your coursework is time sensitive.

                                                             v.      If you continue to experience issues, please follow up with technical support here
