Logging into a Canvas Course without a Ferris ID or Email Address

Overview

Ferris provides training opportunities to individuals who are not enrolled as Ferris students, requiring special access to Canvas. This article explains how non-Ferris participants are manually added to a Canvas course shell by a Canvas Admin and includes the login link for accessing the course without single sign-on (SSO).

Prerequisites

Participant in a Ferris non-credit course and not enrolled at Ferris as a student.

Resolution

  1. The instructor for the course provides eLearning with a list of student names and email addresses to enroll in the course.
  2. Once the account is created, the participant will receive an email with instructions for accessing the course using the email address as the username.
  3. Individuals enrolled in a training course use this link to access Canvas: https://ferris.instructure.com/login/canvas 
Note: Save this link. You cannot use the link on the Ferris homepage to access Canvas.
