Overview


Continuing Education students cannot log into the Canvas mobile application normally. This article explains how to access UWF Continuing Education eLearning courses from your iPhone or Android smartphone.

Instructions

Step 1: Install the app

On your phone's app store (App Store for iPhone, Play Store for Android), search "Canvas" and install the free app from Instructure called "Canvas Student".


Step 2: Change to "Canvas Login" mode

Using 2 fingers, spread apart slightly as seen in the videos below, double-tap on the screen.

On iPhone, the phrase "Canvas Login" will appear in the top right of the screen next to the question mark:


On Android 9, a toast notification that says "Canvas_Login: ON" will appear briefly and then fade away:


* Note: if you double-tap too many times, you will have to keep double-tapping until you see the correct phrase appear (Canvas Login, or Canvas_Login: ON).


Step 3: Find my school

Click the blue button that says "Find my school". Type "uwf" and select University of West Florida from the search results

Step 3: Log in

Enter your Login ID (usually your email address) and password. If you do not know your password, press "Forgot Password?" and enter your Login ID in order to reset your password.

FAQs

You may not have your 2 fingers spread apart far enough (it should be about an inch), or you may be double-tapping too slowly. Try doing it quickly, as shown in the videos above.

You may have double-tapped too many times and tried to log in as a "Site Admin" instead. Go all the way back to the starting screen and double-tap with two fingers again until you see "Canvas Login" or "Canvas_Login: ON".

If you see a UWF Logo and a "Username" and "Password" field, you are on the incorrect login screen. If you see a Canvas logo and fields for "User ID" and "Password" but cannot log in, you may be entering your password incorrectly. You can tap "Forgot Password?" to reset it.
