Accessing Semester-based UWEX Canvas Courses
This document will outline how to access Canvas for semester-based courses in the collaborative, multi-campus degree programs offered in partnership with UW Extended Campus: Applied Biotechnology, Applied Computing, Data Science, Health Information Management and Technology, Health and Wellness Management, Healthcare Administration, IT Management, Sustainable Management, and UW College Courses Online.
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 e-mail prompting you to log into a different instance of Canvas than you may use normally.
