For immediate assistance with Canvas, please call 610-660-2920, Option 2.
The Office of Information Technology has contracted with Instructure, the company behind Canvas, to provide 24 hours a day, 7 days a week technical support for all SJU faculty and students. This “anytime/anywhere” support is essential given the way in which the community will use Canvas. Canvas support representatives have deep knowledge of the Canvas platform and they will be available to assist you at any time of the day.
You can still contact the Technology Service Center (TSC) for Canvas assistance as well.
*Canvas Tier 1 support cannot assist you with password resets, SJU email, or any other SJU-specific technical issues. Please contact the TSC for those issues.
