Canvas Integration

If available, instructors and students can access WebAssign assignments from Canvas™.

Features

Basic integration between Canvas and WebAssign provides automatic rostering of students and single sign-on:

  • Students can open WebAssign from Canvas without signing in to WebAssign separately.
  • The first time each student opens WebAssign from Canvas, they are added to your WebAssign class roster.
Note
  • Students can't open Canvas from WebAssign.
  • Students who drop the Canvas section are not dropped from the WebAssign section.
  • Students who transfer out of the Canvas section are not dropped from the WebAssign section.

Before You Begin

Set up integration at the start of the term, and only for WebAssign course sections with no enrolled students.

Important Turn off self-enrollment for your WebAssign course.

Requesting Canvas Integration

If Canvas integration is not shown under LMS Integration on the Class Settings page, submit an integration help request.

Note Always follow your institution’s IT guidelines for requesting new external tools.
