Still having problems?
- Do you have numbers at the end of your Canvas login?
- Include the numbers after your name.
- Do you have a long name? Stop after the 20th character.
- Example: Jennifer Williams-Smith would login as jennifer.williams-sm
- Is your login longer than 20 characters if you include the numbers after your name?
- Stop after the 20th character.
- Example: Jonathan Anderson's Canvas login is jonathan.anderson12345 but to access the library, it will be jonathan.anderson123
- Did you change your Self-Service or Canvas password?
- Still use your 6-digit birthday. (Not 8-digit birthday)

- Did you change your Grossmont College Microsoft password (Word, Excel, Outlook)?
- If so, use this new password.
