On the Sign Up Page, select your school or institution and select "Sign Up with Canvas"                                                                                                                                                           

2. Authorize

You will be redirected to your school's Canvas login page.  Enter your school's Canvas credentials and click on Sign In.  You must authorize so that Squarecap has permission to communicate with your grade book.   

3.  Import

Once you sign in to Squarecap using your Canvas credentials, your course information can be imported from Canvas.

If this is the first time signing in as a teacher, you will see automatically see a list of the courses in Canvas you are enrolled in as a teacher. 

If this is not the first time, you can always "Import Course" by clicking on "Course Settings" on the top right menu.

• Click on "Import more courses"
• Select the course(s) you want to import

The import process connects Squarecap to your Canvas course so that grades can be transferred and any student who is enrolled in your Canvas course can sign in to Squarecap and automatically see your course. Choose which course(s) you want to import into Squarecap. 

4. Link course sections (if needed)

If you have sections, they will be shown in your course menu.  You can create sessions using the "All Sections" tab and present the questions to multiple classes by clicking on the separate section names.   

If all of your sections meet at the same time, then you can link sections together that meet at the same time. Please email us at help@squarecap.com if you require additional help with this step. 

5.  Choose your Settings

Now that you have created your course, please choose your Grade Upload Settings, Attendance Settings, and Course Settings so that everything will be personalized for your class and how you would like it to work.
