How do I sign in to Canvas?

  • Activate your OsloMet user account: You can first sign in to Canvas or any other of the IT-systems at OsloMet after you have activated your user account at OsloMet. Remember: For technical reasons, it can take up to 24 hours before you can log on to Canvas for the first time.

  • Access your courses in Canvas:  You must have completed your registration for the semester to get access to your courses in Canvas.  It takes about 2-3 hours after you have completed semester registration before your courses will appear in Canvas. NB: As an international student your semester registration might be managed by your international coordinator at OsloMet. 
  • Forgot my password: Go to tilgang.sikt.no/oslomet.
  • Denied access: If you have quit your studies, completed your studies or have been withdrawn from your studies, you lose access . You can check your student status in Studentweb.
  • User account locked: If you have entered the wrong password six times in a row, your user account will be automatically locked for 1 hour. Try again after 1 hour.

Guidelines for the messaging system in Canvas 

The messaging system is for academic communication only, about teaching, assessment, supervision, and course work. It must not be used for private or social messages, chat, or invitations, nor for advertising or other commercial purposes. Never share sensitive personal data such as health information, national identity numbers, or details about religion, political views, or trade union membership. 

The messaging system is not suitable for urgent matters; response times follow normal working hours. Misuse can be reported to the course coordinator or the system administrator. 

Use a supported and up to date browser

To avoid issues in Canvas, we recommend that you use a web browser that is supported and is updated to the latest version. On this page you'll find an overview of web browsers that are supported by Canvas: Which browsers does Canvas support? (community.canvaslms.com).

Note to Apple-users: While the web browser Safari is also listed as supported, we've had several reports from users saying that Canvas doesn't work as intended when using it. We therefore recommend that you try Chrome or Firefox instead if you experience any issues with Safari.

Do I have to register for the semester to get access to Canvas?

You must complete your registration for the semester and activate you user account at OsloMet to get access to your subjects in Canvas. For OsloMet Summer school and other programmes changes may occur. In that case contact your advisor at OsloMet.

Student Groups

You can create your own Student Groups in a Canvas, by clicking People in the course menu. When you have created a group you can choose to leave it open for anyone to join, or you can leave it closed and invite individuals manually.

  • Note that teachers have access to all student groups that are created within their Canvas courses. This access includes announcements given by students within the group.

For further information, see How do I create a group as a student (community.instructure.com).

What if sign up to Canvas fails ?

  • If you have forgotten the password to your OsloMet-user account, create a new password. Remember, if you have completed your studies, left your programme or you have had your right to study evoked you have no longer access to Canvas.

  • Remember, If you have entered the wrong password six times in a row, your User Account will be locked. To unlock your account, you must contact IT Support.

How to get help with Canvas

Are you wondering about what you can do I Canvas or are you stuck? Canvas has a rich amount of documentations and guides:

Access to Canvas upon completion

As a student at OsloMet you have access to Canvas for 30 days after you either complete your programme or end your studies for other reasons. Your studies are regarded as completed when you receive your Diploma and/or transcript of records. This is done on the same day or a few days after the results of your final exam is published. At this time you will get status completed, and will lose access to Canvas after 30 days.

If you wish to keep material that's stored in Canvas you must therefore do this within 30 days of being registered as completed / ended as a student.
