Accessing Your UNT Canvas Account
Follow these simple steps to log into UNT Canvas:

That’s it! From the Dashboard, you can view and enter your enrolled courses, check for announcements and updates, and manage your Canvas settings.
Quick Tip: Courses typically become available on Canvas right around midnight on the first day of the semester. Be sure to login that day and confirm you can access each of your classes without issues.
Understanding Your EUID
Your EUID is your key to all UNT services, including Canvas. It’s the username you’ll use anytime you need to login to a university system or portal. If you’re not sure what your EUID is or are having troubles with it, don’t hesitate to contact the UIT Helpdesk for assistance.

Important: Always use your updated password going forward. Attempting to login with an old password could lock you out of your account.
