How do I see my items in the My Canvas Widget on My Dashboard?

If you are an active student, this widget will give you a 'bird's eye view' of your Canvas items. But first, you will need to activate it.

How to Access:

Step 1:

On first use, your My Canvas widget will have a message saying "To view Canvas..." and a "Connect" button below. This is because Canvas requires you to allow MYFAU access to your Canvas account.
Start the process by clicking the "Connect" button.

Step 2:

Your dashboard window will refresh and display a Canvas page requesting permission to access your account.
Hit the "Authorize" button to grant permission.
The page will refresh again, displaying your dashboard with your populated items.

That's it, you've completed your My Canvas setup!

Note: You may have to repeat this process when accessing on a new device.
