New to the LMS Experience - Canvas "Passport to Canvas" Course Introduces the Canvas LMS Student Experience:
If you are a brand new student to the Canvas LMS, the Canvas vendor provides a separate "Passport to Canvas" course where students can register and learn more about the basics of the Canvas LMS. This "Passport to Canvas" course (opens in new window) is provided separately by the Instructure/Canvas vendor and isn't associated with the UHV campus. You'll use a separate, self-managed account and password to access the "Passport to Canvas" course. UHV and the UHV Help Desk won't be able to assist you with any type of password resets or account username identification associated with the "Passport to Canvas" course. You'll need to manage the username and password details yourself.
