How do I gain access to a Canvas course as a Teaching Fellow or Teaching Assistant?

First, please ensure that you have completed your paperwork with Human Resources and verify your appointment to the class. Once you are hired, HR will add you to the appropriate course in my.Harvard, and you will automatically get added to the proper Canvas course site in your TF/TA role.

  • If you are a new TF/TA and you having problems with your email and/or account, please reach out to your hiring manager and/or HR. If necessary, they will put you in touch with IT.
  • If you are a returning TF/TA, please have your hiring manager reach out to the IT Service Center, as they must put in a request to re-activate your email account.
  • If you have already contacted HR and IT, and continue to have issues, then please feel free to email canvas@gse.harvard.edu.
