Canvas Catalog: How to Reset Your Password


What's the difference between Academic Canvas and Canvas Catalog?

Auburn University has two instances of Canvas: Academic Canvas at https://auburn.instructure.com and Canvas Catalog at https://auburncatalog.instructure.com. Academic Canvas, which serves as Auburn's credit-bearing Learning Management System, is behind AUthenticate, a secure, Single Sign On system. Please see this helpguide if you need to change your Auburn University password

Canvas Catalog is a self-enrolled, public version of Canvas. Canvas Catalog is popular for continuing education or professional development courses for the larger public. It's not behind Auburn's Single Sign On and you can reset the password following the help below.

What if I don't get my email? 

How do I know it's a real email and not a phishing attempt?

As general guidance, we do not recommend clicking links in unsolicited emails, especially password resets. And although this is a requested and expected email, we still recommend doublechecking all links. If you hover your cursor over the link, it should be redirecting you to an address that begins with: https://auburncatalog.instructure.com....
