New Student Instructions to Access Canvas

If you are a new student, your account on Canvas is created within 24 hours after you register for your first course. Point your browser to https://catholiciu.instructure.com and click on the Forgot Password link. You will be presented with a modal window where you can enter your Username. Click the Request Password button. It may take up to 30 minutes to send password recovery instructions to your Catholic International student email and you may need to check your spam folder to locate the email.

Sign in to your Catholic International student email account and open the Forgot Password email. If the email is not in your Inbox, check your Spam folder. Click the Click here to set a new password link in the email you received from Canvas. Note that password reset emails expire after two hours. Type in a new password and then confirm that password by typing it again. Click the Update Password button.

With your login credential (Username) and new password, log in to Canvas.
