Single Sign-On

SWC's Single Sign-On system was implemented in 2017 to enhance user security and streamline the login process through one point of access, My SWC. With Single Sign-On, certain integrations between various campus databases (WebAdvisor, Colleague, Canvas) need to remain intact so they can fluidly send the most up-to-date information between systems.

As a result, manually enrolling students into Canvas courses is no longer possible. This applies to enrolled students, Waitlisted students and crashers, as well as Audit and Non-Credit students, and finally, Tutors.

Enrolled, Waitlist, crashers, Audit, and Non-Credit students are all added to Canvas through WebAdvisor.
Tutors can be added by making a SeviceNow ticket request.

If a student doesn't appear on your Canvas roster (People), please ask the student to check with Admissions (x5215).

Admissions will verify the student successfully enrolled and pay for a course, as well as let the student know if there are any holds related to their account or Financial Aid-related follow-up that needs to be done. Only students who've formally enrolled through WebAdvisor and are recorded as paying for their courses will show in Canvas.

If a student has enrolled and paid for their course, it will generally take 2-4 hours for them to appear on your Canvas roster (People) and for the course to appear in their Canvas Dashboard.
