Use the Correct Login Page
Temporary accounts require a specific sign-in option and will not work through the standard Tarleton login.
- Go to the Tarleton Canvas login page: https://www.tarleton.edu/oiss/canvas-login/
- Locate the green box on the page and click the Guest sign-in option.
- Enter your
firstname.lastname_temporary username and password.
If You Still Cannot Log In
Temporary accounts are managed manually and cannot be reset through standard processes. You will need to contact Tarleton's Canvas team directly.
Do not attempt to create a new account or reset your credentials on your own. All changes to temporary accounts must be made by a Canvas administrator.
