What is Canvas? How do I log in?

So we've heard you are new to Canvas... Fear not! for we have answers to some of your very important questions, and we will help you get comfortable with Canvas. Now, you may be wondering... ''What on Earth is Canvas anyway?'' So let's dive into it.

What is Canvas?

Canvas is the LMS (Learning Management System) used for all courses at KTH. In Canvas you can:

  • Find course materials and other relevant information that your teachers have uploaded in their course room.
  • Keep in touch with your teachers and other students via discussion forums, messages, and group.
  • Submit assignments.
  • Answer quizzes.
  • Get feedback and see assessments and results. Note: the examiner's grading decision is communicated via Ladok, not Canvas.

To gain access to your courses in Canvas, you must be registered in the course.

How do I log into Canvas to see my courses?

You log in with your KTH account. If you are a new student, you will get your KTH account with login information during the Orientation Week.

If you are an external student without a KTH account (for example from Stockholm University or Karolinska Institutet) you must ask your course administrator to send an email to it-support@kth.se that you need to be added manually to Canvas and to the course. Click here to see a list of Course- and Student Offices (Link to external site).

Once you have received your login information and access to the course, log in to Canvas via this link: Canvas website without KTH account (Link to external site).
