This guide provides the instructions for IUSD students to login to Canvas.

Step 1: Username and Password

Usernames for students include grad year, last name, first name (ex. 19DoeJohn) and should not include “@iusd.org” The default password will be the student’s permanent ID number, unless it has been changed by the student.

Step 2: Go to Canvas

Visit https://iusd.instructure.com. Then, enter the student’s username (without @iusd.org)  and password, then click login.

Resources

A student’s username and password can be found in Parent Portal, if you have never used Parent Portal, you’ll need to reach out to the school site for assistance before continuing.

To find a child’s username and password:

1. Login to Parent Portal (https://my.iusd.org)
2. Hover over Student Info
3. Click on Demographics
4. Click on the Student Data 2 tab
5. Network Login ID = username (the naming convention is year of graduation + last name + first name)
6. In the top section of that page you will see Perm ID # (this is your child's password for Canvas). It is generally 9 digits long.
