How do I link additional students to my account in the Canvas Parent app on my Android device?
You can link your Canvas account to additional student accounts from the Canvas Parent app. Students can be linked to your account from your Parent app user menu or from the Parent app dashboard.
To link your account, you will need a student pairing code provided by your student, their instructor, or an admin from your student's institution.
