The Canvas integration is available to schools and districts with Premium subscriptions.
If your school or district has a Premium subscription, you are able to import your rosters from Canvas. This enables students to also access Quill directly from Canvas. To import your classes, you will need to ask your IT/Canvas administrator to set up the integration first. Share this link with your IT/Canvas administrator before attempting to import Canvas classes to your Quill account.
