A Teaching and Learning Experience for Students and Instructors

Default Canvas Login Page Implementation on August 31

Beginning August 31, 2026, Instructure, the company that provides Canvas, will implement a new default Canvas login screen. This new default screen may be encountered when navigating directly to “canvas.northwestern.edu” or when being redirected after a logout. Links to Canvas across the Northwestern IT website will continue to provide direct login and bypass this page. The rest of the login experience will remain unchanged.
