CANVAS

UCC Canvas is UCC's online learning system. It's where you are right now!

Canvas is where you may find your course materials, lecture notes, assignments, communications, etc. for each of your registered modules. Each lecturer will let you know in the first couple of weeks of your course how they intend to use Canvas, and what content they will make available here.

How do I logon to my Canvas account?

Go to sit.ucc.ie
Click the Canvas icon
Logon using your Student IT Account username and password.

Alternatively, you can access Canvas directly at canvas.ucc.ie. If you are unable to logon to Canvas, please contact Student IT support.

The Canvas Student App is available free for Android and iOS devices. When you open the app, you will be asked to search for your school – enter “University College Cork” and hit the arrow to continue. Enter your Umail address and Student IT password, and then authorise the Canvas app to access your account.

How do I use Canvas?

All UCC Students are also enrolled in a Learning with Canvas course which is a comprehensive guide to how to use our learning platform. The University will use this canvas course to help support students’ learning needs in the event of extended campus closure.

How do I see the modules I am enrolled in?

Once you log in, you will see your ‘Dashboard’, which displays information about your current modules, announcements, and an activity stream that shows recent activity in all your modules.

All your modules might not appear in your Dashboard. To see all of your registered modules, click the Courses link on the left-hand menu, and then click ‘All courses’.

If your module is listed as published, then you can click the link and view the content. You can also ’star’ (or favourite) the modules you want to appear on your dashboard.
If your module is listed as not published, then your lecturer has not yet released the module to students. Please discuss with your lecturer if necessary.

Important: If one or more of your modules is not listed in the All Courses list, you should contact your lecturer.

Task: Check your Canvas modules

Go to your Canvas Dashboard (use the link below to open a new tab so you don't lose your place here!)
Check all your registered modules are displayed
If modules are missing, go to your MyStudentAdmin to check your registration record
If your registration record is correct, contact your lecturer about the missing module.
