Experience Canvas

The Basics:

  • Canvas Website. (my.unomaha.edu has a link to Canvas)
  • Account and Password is your UNO NetID (same as gmav, etc.).
  • UNO uses single sign for many applications including Canvas. If you use the log out button, you will receive a Page Error. Close the browser and you will be logged out. This is important when using computers in open labs like the library and other locations on campus.
  • Recommended Browsers. Keep browsers, Adobe Flash, and Java updated.
  • 24x7 Support: Many help options are available -- phone, email, chat, and report a problem. To access the various help options, follow these steps:
  • Login to Canvas.
  • Click on 'Help' (lower left side of screen) - Information by phone, chat, and email are available in this section.
  • If you select ''Report a Problem' Canvas captures the web browser and other pertinent information that will help the Canvas folks answer your question.
  • Ask Your Instructor a Question from the Help option.
