School-Level Support
For urgent issues, contact 24/7 Canvas Support via the Help button within Canvas.
To request the addition of a user to your course, contact your school registrar to update your course in WashU Course Listings (WUCRSL). All Canvas course roles, except Observer and Guest, flow from WUCRSL to Canvas. Refer to the School Registrar Contact List or the Canvas Roles & Permissions document as needed.
For additional school-level Canvas support, please refer to the list of School and Department Canvas Administrators.
External Tools
External Tools (also known as “applications,” “apps,” and/or “LTIs”) are developed by other third party vendors to integrate with the Canvas LMS. These tools must be vetted and approved to be supported by system administration. Certain external tools may not be supported due to security or functionality concerns.
For additional information regarding external tools, including a list of tools already added to Canvas and the process for requesting a new external tool, visit the External Tools page.
