The login screen for the university’s Canvas service will soon change from one familiar UO sign-in method to another—just like the recent Zoom login update.
The Canvas switch is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 21.
This applies to both Instructional Canvas (canvas.uoregon.edu) and Community Canvas (community.uoregon.edu).
How will the Canvas login change?
- Before: You enter your Duck ID username on a Shibboleth single sign-on screen.
- After: You’ll enter your full UO email address in a Microsoft single sign-on window—like you see logging in to UO Microsoft services, UOmail, UO VPN, and Zoom.
Which services are affected—and why?
- The Sept. 21 change affects only Canvas.
- It will join a growing list of UO services using the Microsoft login, including Concur, UKG, and Zoom.
- The cloud-based Microsoft login provides extra resilience and continuity for such cloud-based services.
- That said, Shibboleth single sign-on remains a secure and effective login method that you’ll continue to see on many UO services.
