Canvas

Canvas is Chaminade’s online class platform. Students taking online or on-campus courses with online components will likely need to use Canvas to access their course materials. Not all faculty members use Canvas, so be sure to check your Chaminade email, as your professor may have sent special instructions on what online resources the class will use throughout the term. If you do not see your courses in Canvas, keep in mind that courses do not appear until the weekend before the term begins.

Follow the instructions below to get started with Canvas:

Go to chaminade.instructure.com
Enter your username: your seven-digit CUH ID number
Enter your password: same as your Chaminade Portal password
Click “Profile” then “Settings” to set up your profile

Once you’ve logged in, view the Student Orientation Course to learn how to use the system. Click Help and search the Canvas Guides for additional information.
