University of Houston runs Canvas behind AccessUH and Microsoft MFA
UH's LMS is Canvas at uh.instructure.com, branded UH Canvas. You reach it through the AccessUH single sign-on portal at accessuh.uh.edu and click the Canvas icon, or go to uh.edu/canvas and click the Canvas icon. Canvas hands off via SAML to AccessUH and Microsoft 365 (Microsoft Entra ID, formerly Azure AD), where you sign in with your CougarNet credentials — your CougarNetID@cougarnet.uh.edu and CougarNet password — and then approve a Microsoft Authenticator push (or a Duo prompt).

Approved work is submitted and logged in Canvas while you're in class or asleep.
UH FAQ
You approve one Microsoft Authenticator push when the session starts (Duo Mobile is also supported if that's what you enrolled at uh.edu/2fa-portal). UH remembers trusted devices, so you rarely re-approve while Silent Student runs.
Yes. UH draws many transfers from Houston-area community colleges through the Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS), and Silent Student also has a page for Houston Community College, which runs on Canvas (eagleonline.hccs.edu) — so your queue is covered before and after you transfer.
