STEP 2: Create Your Student's SIS Account

Is your student new? Set up their account!

Every new student needs an SIS account before Success Week begins. Without it, they won't be able to participate in live Orientation, log in to Canvas, or access the Engageli links for their live online classes.

(Note: If your student is returning or has already created their own SIS account, skip ahead to Step 3.)

Create an SIS Account

 

STEP 3: Log in to Canvas

Canvas is where students can join their classes, see course materials, and complete their Orientation assignments and Benchmark Assessments.

Please choose your school below to make sure your student can log in!

Note: Each student's Canvas login is the same as their SIS login.

Not sure which school?

Reach out to our support team and we’ll point you to the right place.
