How to Login to Canvas

  1. Go to mycollege.laccd.edu
    This is the Student Information System (SIS) portal.

  2. Log in using:

    • Username: Your 9-digit Student ID (e.g., 881234567 or 991234567)

    • Password: The same password you use for SIS

  3. Click on the “Canvas” link on your SIS homepage to access your courses in the Canvas LMS.

Important Reminders:

  • Your SIS login credentials are the same for both SIS and Canvas.

  • Most instructors don’t publish their Canvas courses until the first day of the term.

  • After adding a class, it may take up to 24 hours for your Canvas access to update.

  • If you can log in to Canvas but don’t see your course, reach out to your instructor by email to confirm you're on their Canvas roster. Sometimes there’s a delay between the college system updating and the course appearing in your Canvas account.

Trouble Logging In?

If your Canvas login isn’t working, try these steps:

  1. Double-check your Student ID and password.
    Make sure there are no typos and that you're using your correct 9-digit ID.

  2. Remember the delay after registration.
    If you just registered for a class, it may take 1–2 business days before your Canvas access becomes active (if the semester has already started).

  3. Try logging in through SIS:
    Go to mycollege.laccd.edu and click the Canvas link from your dashboard.

  4. Reset your password if needed:
    Call the ELAC Welcome Center at (323) 780-6800 for help resetting your SIS/Canvas password.
