This article covers how academic administrators (e.g., chairs, deans, coordinators or other support personnel) can request elevated access in Canvas.

Processing completed requests may take up to a week.

Instructions

Complete and submit the request form for elevated access in Canvas.

Considerations

Historically, s_accounts were used as a mechanism for student employees to retain their normal student roles in Canvas or other systems.

Effective Jan 2025, s_accounts are the default mechamism for any employee who requires elevated Canvas access because these accounts are auto-deprovisioned upon separation from the university.

  1. Supervisor approval is required.

  2. The process may take up to a week to complete.

  3. An email will be sent when

    1. The employee s_account is created.

    2. The employee access is granted in Canvas.
