Step 1: Navigate to the NCVPS Login for Canvas: https://ncvps.instructure.com/login/canvas.
Step 2: Click on the “Click Here for an Account” if you are new, or log in if you already have an account.
Step 3: The process is the same here as the app. Complete all the details and get the pairing code (see above) from your student.

The Canvas Parent App
You can now download the Instructure’s Canvas Parent app in both the iTunes and Google Play stores.
Parents and facilitators will need a “pairing code” from the student’s account to connect with the student. Students must generate a separate pairing code (directions below) for each person who wants to connect to their account. This might include parents, advisors, and mentors.
