Canvas - Student Support

Want to change your Canvas profile picture? You’ll need to do so through the Buff OneCard site. Login with your IdentiKey, and then click on “Upload Photo.” After uploading a new photo there, your Canvas profile picture will then be reviewed by the Buff OneCard office. NOTE: Canvas shows the option to change your profile picture in the user settings, but if you don’t upload a new photo through the Buff OneCard portal, it will reset to the original picture.

Did you know Canvas automatically restricts access to courses from past semesters? Try to download all the materials you think you’ll need in advance. After a course is closed, you’ll need to reach out to your instructor to see if they will unlock the course for you. Keep an eye out for reminders regarding course end dates for the current semester!

Download the Canvas Student App to view your courses and grades, submit assignments, take quizzes, and participate in your course in a number of other ways. Visit the Canvas - Mobile Apps page for additional information.
