Texas State runs Canvas behind your NetID and Duo

Texas State's LMS is Canvas at canvas.txstate.edu — branded TXST Canvas and listed in the IT Assistance Center service catalog (doit.txst.edu/services/canvas), with a login chooser at discovery.canvas.txst.edu. Opening Canvas redirects through its SAML login endpoint to Texas State's NetID sign-in page, where you enter your NetID and password and then clear a Duo prompt (formerly branded NetID 2-Step). Duo's "trust this browser" option suppresses prompts for 14 days on the same device, so you tap once and Silent Student keeps the session running.

How it works

From sign-in to submitted at Texas State.

  1. Connect Canvas once

    Sign in at canvas.txstate.edu with your NetID and approve the Duo prompt. Silent Student keeps the trusted session — Duo's browser trust lasts 14 days.

  2. It syncs every course

    Every Texas State course and assignment is pulled from Canvas and ordered by due date.

  3. Drafts wait for you

    Essays and discussion posts — like ENG 1310 and US 1100 — are held in Draft Review, and a graded, single-attempt, untimed Canvas quiz stops for your review if an answer falls below your 70% confidence threshold.

  4. It runs in the background

    Approved work is submitted and logged in Canvas while you're in class or asleep.

Questions

Texas State FAQ

You approve one Duo prompt — a push, passcode, or phone callback — when the session starts. Duo (formerly branded NetID 2-Step) trusts your browser for 14 days on the same device, so you rarely re-approve while Silent Student runs.
