Canvas is a web-based learning management software (LMS) used by instructors to build and manage their online classes. Canvas can be accessed under Top Links in the main menu, found at the top right of the Methodist University Web site. It may also be directly accessed at https://methodist.instructure.com.

Logging in to Canvas

Each Methodist University student is assigned Microsoft 365 login, which is used to authenticate into various systems on campus, including Canvas.

Upon arriving at https://methodist.instructure.com, you will be prompted to enter your Methodist University email address (new users) or to choose your MU email address (returning users). Enter your password, and you will be prompted to use the multi-factor authentication (MFA) process.

IT Services is prepared to support you through this process. If you have problems with authentication, you can use the Help Center or contact the Help Desk by emailing [email protected] or calling 910.630.7300.
