How does a student generate a Canvas pairing code for a parent?
To give a parent or guardian access to a student's courses in Canvas, the student must first generate a pairing code and share that with the parent. To generate a pairing code:
- From the left navigation bar in Canvas, click the Account link [1].
- Click the Settings link [2].
- Click the "Pair with Observer" button on the right side of the page [3].
- Copy the six-digit alphanumeric pairing code [4]. You will need to share the code with the observer who will link to your account. The pairing code will expire after seven days or its first use.
- To close the window, click the OK button [5].
