Student Pairing Codes
To register for a Canvas Observer account, parents or guardians will need a unique student pairing code. Students can generate pairing codes for up to five observers that want to link to their account by following these steps:
- In Global Navigation, click "Account," then, "Settings"
- Click the "Pair with Observer" button
Each student pairing code can be used only once (for a single observer) and will expire after seven days or its first successful use.
For more information about pairing codes, check out these frequently asked questions.
