Family Access Guide/User Expectations

In Canvas, Family Access occurs via the Observer role. Observers can view course data but cannot participate in all Canvas areas. Observers cannot submit work on behalf of the students they observe, but they can see student grades, assignments and events, and course interactions. A side-by-side comparison of what observers can view versus do in each Canvas course has been created.

Family Access to Canvas also takes place via Classlink Family Access.

Information in Canvas can be accessed in a variety of languages and views. For information on how to translate Canvas content or make pages accessible, please view our Immersive Reader Video Guide.
