For Online, Remote Instruction and Hybrid Courses

Canvas

UCLA Extension utilizes an online learning management system called Canvas. Within Canvas you can interact with your instructor and peers, find course materials, activities, assignments, quizzes, and more. Some courses also use Zoom to conduct scheduled, live-online class sessions.

If the course(s) you enrolled in uses Canvas, course content will be made accessible online through the Canvas platform beginning 2 days before the course start date (after 1:00 AM PT) until 30 days after the course end date.

You should receive an email when you may access Canvas, typically within 3 hours of completing registration. You can then follow the steps below to log in or request a password.

How to Log in or Create an Account in Canvas

Go to https://my.uclaextension.edu
Type in your email address (using the email provided when you enrolled)
Type in your Canvas password or click on "Forgot Password" to create a new password (new students will be prompted to create a new password)
Click the "Login" button

For best performance, Canvas should be used on an up-to-date version Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari.
