Logging into Canvas
Where is Francis Tuttle’s Canvas login page?
The Francis Tuttle login page can be found by typing the following into your browser: canvas.francistuttle.edu. Technically, this redirects users to the https://fttc.instructure.com/login/ldap address, but canvas.francistuttle.edu is a lot easier to remember.
Of course, you can also use the Canvas link found under Student Experience on the Francis Tuttle website. Other organizations have their own Canvas login screens. Ours will have the Francis Tuttle logo and a purple background.

How do you log in to Canvas?
Enter your username and password and click Log In.
- Your Canvas username is your Francis Tuttle ID number. (e.g., ab0012345).
- Your password is the same as your Francis Tuttle network password.
How do students find their Francis Tuttle network/Canvas password?
There are 3 basic ways:
- Instructors can create a Student Initial Network Password Report through InfoCentral. Instructions for this can be found here. This provides a list of passwords.
- Instructors can also create a Student Email Access and Credential Report. While the student email password and network/Canvas password are independent of each other (i.e., changing one does not change the other), they are initially both the same. So, a student’s initial email password will initially be the same as their Canvas password.
- A new student could also access Canvas for the first time by clicking on the “Student’s & Staff – Forgot Password?” link, following the instructions for resetting their network/Canvas password, then logging in to Canvas. In fact, when students are first added to Canvas, they receive an automated email (sent to the email they used when registering) notifying them that they have been enrolled in a Canvas course and giving them instructions for resetting their password to log in to Canvas.
How do you reset your Canvas password?
- If you have forgotten your Canvas password or need to reset it for any reason, click on the “Student’s & Staff – Forgot Password?” link on the Canvas login page.
