Support shouldn't be a hurdle; it should be a resource. To best serve you, our small but mighty team has streamlined help into tiers. Use this page to find the right channel for your current needs—be it a Canvas 'how-to' question, an ITS account issue, or a dedicated one-on-one consultation for your next big project.
Peak Season Notice: During the first and last two weeks of the semester, we experience a high volume of requests across all channels. Please anticipate longer response times.
