What is the Canvas Student app?
The Canvas Student app allows students to access their courses and groups using a mobile device. Students can submit assignments, participate in discussions, view grades, and access course materials. The app also provides access to course calendars, To Do items, notifications, and Inbox messages.
Canvas Student requires a Canvas account and is available for both Android and iOS devices. Before downloading the Canvas Student app, you may want to review the Canvas mobile device requirements.
