Where's My Canvas Site?

Overview

As a Penn LPS Online student, you can access your Canvas site on the first day of class by 12pm EST by following these steps:

1. Go to canvas.upenn.edu.

2. Log in with your PennKey username and password.

3. Enter the site by clicking:

• the course card that appears for the site in the center of your Canvas User Dashboard; or
• Courses > the link for the course that appears in the pop-out menu.

If you do not see your course's Canvas site on your Canvas User Dashboard or in the "Courses" pop-out menu, please click Courses > All Courses. Then, please consult the "Published" column. If the "Published" column displays "No," then your instructor has not published your course's Canvas site yet. 

Please note that if the site is unpublished, your instructor will publish it when it is ready for students to view. 

All Penn LPS Online courses will be published on the first day of class by 12pm EST. If you do not see the site by then, please reach out to your advisor by emailing lpsonline@sas.upenn.edu or calling (215) 898-7326.  

If you are taking an on-campus LPS or SAS course, your instructor may or may not use Canvas and it is best to check with them directly to see.
