Getting started for TCNJ Faculty

Log into Canvas by visiting the URL http://canvas.tcnj.edu in your preferred web browser. As long as you have an account in Canvas, you will access the system. If you are redirected to the myTCNJ portal, it means you are not recognized by Canvas, but have a valid TCNJ account. Please check to ensure you have been assigned to a course in PAWS. If you have been assigned, contact canvashelp@tcnj.edu with your course information and we will look into it.

Spend some time exploring the Canvas interface. Additional "Getting Started" information on the many tools in Canvas can be found at https://community.canvaslms.com/community/answers/guides.

There is also a great video at Lynda.com on learning Canvas. (Information on using Lynda.com with your TCNJ account)

We recommend using the Modules tool to run your course, as it offers an easy and streamlined interface to course resources and assignments for students.

Be sure to check out the Canvas Course Check List and Canvas Common Terms.
