Canvas - How to Enroll in a UW-Superior Canvas Course Using a Catalog Listing

This document demonstrates how UW-Superior students can access their Continuing Education course via a Canvas Catalog listing.

Step One: Visit the Canvas Catalog Listing and Enroll

To begin, visit the Canvas Catalog link UW-Superior staff shared with you. This link should begin with uwsuper.catalog.instructure.com/courses and will correspond with the course you’ve registered for.

On the course listing page, click the Enroll Now button.

On the “Create an Account” page, you can either create a new account, or sign in with your existing account if you have one.

Already Have a UW Account?

If you have a UW-Superior email address or Universities of Wisconsin email address, you should log into Canvas now with that account. Click the button that says Already have an account? Sign in here.

Need to Create an Account?

If this is your first time accessing a UW-Superior course hosted in Canvas, you'll need to create a Canvas account. 

Enter Your Account Details

To create a new account, enter your name and email address, agree to the Acceptable Use Policy, and complete the reCAPTCHA verification. Finally, click the Register New Account button.

Click the Catalog Student Dashboard link or the Go to Courses button to proceed.

Confirm Your Registration Email

On the Catalog Student Dashboard page, you should see an alert that says to "Please check your email account now."

Visit your email inbox and look for two new emails from Canvas Catalog (notifications@instructure.com). Click the email with the subject line "Welcome to Catalog".

This "Welcome to Catalog" email should confirm you've registered and ask you to set up a password for your new login ID. Click the blue Complete Registration button.

Choose a Password for Your Canvas Account

On the "Welcome Aboard!" screen, enter your preferred password. Click the Register button to proceed.

Please save this password in a secure location so you can reference it later. You'll need it to log back into Canvas, if you switch browsers, or if you would like to log in from a different device.
