Canvas How-To Guide

Canvas for Seminary

Canvas for seminary will look a lot like the Canvas you use for school, but it's in a completely different place on the internet and requires your church login to work.  Please follow these steps to get access to canvas, get comfortable with using it, and make sure you are able to receive notifications through canvas.

Step 1: Make Sure You Have access to your Church account 

You need to know your login name and password AND that the email and cell phone number associated with your Church account is current.  

The following video will guide you through the steps you need to take to set up your church account.  Please skip this step if you already have an account.




Step 2: Login to Canvas using your (don't use your parents') Church account information.  

Access Canvas for Seminary by clicking on this link: https://silearn.churchofjesuschrist.org/ and login with your Church account.  Please bookmark this site for quick access.

Step 3: Use the following video tutorials to get started and make sure you are set up to receive notifications.

If you are using a computer:

If you are using the Canvas app on a phone or tablet:

Step 4: Make sure we can contact you (the student) directly through text or email.  

This is critical in situations where Canvas doesn't forward messages correctly or if you prefer to receive texts.  It makes your parents much happier too because then they don't have to be the go-between.

Use this tutorial to guide you through the process (this can be done by either the student or the parent).
