The Canvas Learning Management System enables collaboration, feedback, and access to documents, assignments and other materials.

Accessing Canvas

On the web

Go to canvas.csudh.edu and log in with your CSUDH ID and password.

The Canvas web interface (canvas.csudh.edu) is designed for a screen NO SMALLER than 8 inches. Using the web browser on a mobile phone or small tablet will produce very poor results. Canvas does NOT support mobile browsers.

Browser Compatibility

Canvas mobile app

Access Canvas on the go from the Canvas Teacher app, available in your device's app store. Launch the app, then search for CSU Dominguez Hills or CSUDH to find your courses.

Working with content

Canvas has different storage limits for regular content vs multimedia content. There is a 2GB limit on multimedia files; all other content is unlimited. See here for a comparison of how Canvas handles different types of content.

As an alternative to storing content directly in Canvas, you can use Panopto to store, publish and stream videos, video collections and other media. The system integrates with Canvas, allowing faculty to create, upload and share multimedia content with ease.
