Summary

Students can generate a pairing code to link an observer to their Canvas account. An observer can enter the pairing code in their User Settings Observing tab. An observer may be a parent, guardian, mentor, counselor, or another individual who needs to view a student’s Canvas courses.

 

Essential Information

  • Students of younger elementary grades may receive a pairing code from their teacher or administrator.
  • Pairing codes are specific for each observer and student connection.
    • A separate pairing code must be created for each observer who wants to link to a student's account. 
    • If there are multiple students that you would like to observe their learning and progress in Canvas, you will need to pair with each of the students using a unique pairing code.
