Accessing Canvas from a Non-School Issued Device

      Desktop or Laptop

          Students can access Canvas from a computer's internet browser, such as Chrome or Firefox, by typing socs.instructure.com into the address bar.

If this is the first time trying to access Canvas this way, the student should be asked to sign in with their Google Account. This account information is the same information they use to log into their Chromebooks.

           Their "Email" is firstnamelastname@socs.k12.in.us, all lower case, i.e. johndoe@socs.k12.in.us. Their password would be, all lowercase firstinitiallastinitiallunchnumber i.e. jd1234567.

           There may be some variance from the firstnamelastname@socs.k12.in.us scheme, as we do have multiple students district-wide with the same first and last name. The affected students should already know what changes are needed to sign in. If there is an issue with signing into the account please contact the building.  

Mobile Devices

                If a student wishes to use a Mobile Device or Tablet, They will have to use the Canvas Student App available in the Apple App Store https://apps.apple.com/us/app/canvas-student/id480883488 or the Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instructure.candroid&hl=en_US .

1.    Once the student opens the Canvas Student App they will click “Find my school”. 

2.    Enter “socs.instructure.com” into the “What’s your school’s name?” prompt.

3.    Sign into the student’s Google Account per the directions in the Desktop or Laptop section above. 

            Again, there may be some variance from the firstnamelastname@socs.k12.in.us scheme, as we do have multiple students district-wide with the same first and last name. The affected students should already know what changes are needed to sign in. If there is an issue with signing into the account please contact the building.
