Tips for a Productive Help Appointment

  • Please thoroughly describe the issue in your registration form. We use this information to send you help documentation before the appointment and to prepare for it. The more we know about the issue before the appointment, the more efficiently we can serve you during it.
  • Bring the device (laptop, tablet, etc.) you use for work so we can see how you interface with Canvas and troubleshoot potential device-configuration issues. Also, please make sure that your device is using a browser version supported by Canvas.

Please note our Canvas Help Policies for people registering for Canvas Help appointments.
