      Sub-Account Admin Requests

      Users from different departments may be required to manage, on some level, multiple or all of the courses created within that department. In order to do this, you must first request that a subaccount be created and that you be listed as an administrator for that specific sub-account. This is called being a Sub-Account Admin.

      This may give you the ability to create courses for that department and many other tasks.

      In order to be granted sub-accound admin access, you must first take the following training:

      • Being An Everyday Admin
      • Assessment Tools for Admins

      Note: Both sessions are live, meaning it is let by a Canvas Instructure (LMS vendor) trainer and you will have to sign up for the training on the next available timeslot.

      It is required that users complete these trainings in order to be granted Sub-Account Admin privileges.

      To access this training you must first login to Canvas. 

      Once logged into Canvas, click on Help in your Global Navigation and select the Training Services Portal link.

      You must click Authorize in order to grant access to your account. You may get the Training Services Tutorial. Feel free to go through it if you'd like but you can also skip it by clicking on the X in the top right-hand corner.

      Select the Learning Library tab [1] enter the title of each training (see above) in the search bar [2]. Click on the training you are looking for [3].
