Canvas Instructions

The School of Government uses a Learning Management system, CANVAS, to share electronic materials with program participants. Please find detailed instructions below on creating a CANVAS account or accessing the log in page if you've previously created your CANVAS log in account. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to your Program Manager or to the School of Government Helpdesk at helpdesk@sog.unc.edu or 919.962.5487.

If you already have a CANVAS log-in:

Step 1: If you have previously attended a School of Government program that used Canvas AND your email address is the same, Canvas, the School of Government’s online learning portal, at https://sogunc.instructure.com/

Step 2: On the left side, enter your email address as your username and your password and click “Log in”. 

 If you are new to CANVAS or the School of Government, or if you would like to reset your password, click “Reset Password”, enter the email address used to purchase your registration to the program, and click “Submit”.
