Canvas Login Landing Page Update – Effective May 11th
As of Sunday, May 11th, Canvas has transitioned to a new authentication platform. As a result, the login landing page now appears slightly different, as a single sign on (SSO).
To access Canvas, please use a fresh browser window and navigate to canvas.unt.edu. This link will redirect you to the updated login page, as seen below. You will log
in as standard, with your EUID & UNT password.
We recommend updating any previously saved bookmarks that may still point to the old login page to ensure a smooth login experience.
If you encounter any issues or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact our office.
(Ongoing) Delay in Password Sync with Microsoft Services On Weekends
The UNT system is currently experiencing a known issue where UNT password resets (at
ams.unt.edu) performed Friday evening-Saturday, may not immediately sync with Microsoft
services such as UNT Email, Office 365, OneDrive, and Teams. This does not impact logging into Canvas, MyUNT, or other non-Microsoft services/accounts.
This syncing error only occurs for some if they reset their password anywhere from
Friday night into Saturday morning, when password synchronization temporarily stops.
But the UNT password will sync by Sunday afternoon.
Administrators are working to pinpoint the issue and implement a permanent fix. In
the meantime, users who recently changed their password Friday-Saturday and are unable
to access Microsoft services are advised to wait until Sunday afternoon. If the issue
persists past Sunday, please contact the IT Help Desk for further assistance.
