Logging on the Canvas for CBC Students

Note that if you are reading official Canvas help guides, they tell you to log on using your e-mail, however at CBC, we use student IDs. See the information below.

Link to Canvas through the CBC website
- Click on the Quick Links icon in the upper right corner
- Click on Canvas
or directly through http://cbc.instructure.com
- User ID: Student ID
- Password: KIOSK PIN
It is a good idea to bookmark http://cbc.instructure.com. If the CBC website goes down or becomes inaccessible, Canvas may still available through the direct link.
Students should update their primary e-mail if their existing one is not correct. Adding a second e-mail or other notification methods (e.g. SMS Text) is recommended. Information on adding an e-mail is in Module 01.
We have heard some instances where the Canvas password did not sync to an updated PIN. If you can log into the CBC web site or KIOSK/myCBC, but not Canvas, try changing your PIN/Password.
- Student PIN changes should be made through KIOSK/myCBC on the CBC Web site. This should keep the PIN synched with the Canvas password
- It may take a short time for the password change to update. If it does not update within 30 minutes, contact eLearning support.
- If you are a new student, your Canvas account will not be created until you register for classes and enrollments are uploaded. Typically, enrollments start being updated about a month before the quarter starts.
In a limited number of cases, a student may not have a PIN (most common in ESL & ABE). In those cases, the student will have to log in to CBC's Canvas and the student's password will be their birthday in the format mmddyy.
