Canvas offers live support over the phone (1-833-330-8387 for faculty and 1-844-683-6439 for students) and online via chat 24/7. Both students and instructors can use the support functions via the Help tab on the Global Navigation bar in Canvas.

  1. To start a conversation as an instructor, select the “Chat with Canvas Support (Faculty)” link.
  2. A new window/tab will open, asking you to complete contact information and assess the perceived severity of the issue (ranging from casual question to critical emergency).
  3. Note: Be mindful to select the correct “Role” from the dropdown list for Student, Admin, or Faculty.
