First Semester Instructors
New instructors must be assigned to a course in Jenzabar before they are created as a user in CANVAS the first time.
- The department chair or admin must contact the Registrar's Office on the instructor's behalf, requesting that they be assigned to the appropriate course.
- Once a new instructor is assigned to a course, their CANVAS account will be created overnight.
- Once your account is created, you will be able to login at any time, and access future courses as they are assigned to you.
