UT Arlington runs Canvas behind your NetID and NetIDplus

UT Arlington's LMS is Canvas at uta.instructure.com, reached from the OIT Canvas portal at oit.uta.edu/canvas or directly at uta.instructure.com/login/saml. The Canvas SAML login uses your UTA NetID — the same Microsoft sign-in as your UTA Microsoft 365 account, as NetID@mavs.uta.edu — then a NetIDplus prompt when you are off campus. UTA moved Canvas multi-factor from Duo to Microsoft Authenticator in 2021, so the off-campus prompt is a Microsoft Authenticator approval.

How it works

From sign-in to submitted at UT Arlington.

  1. Connect Canvas once

    Sign in with your NetID as NetID@mavs.uta.edu and approve one NetIDplus prompt in Microsoft Authenticator. Silent Student keeps the trusted Canvas session running.

  2. It syncs every course

    Every UT Arlington course and assignment is pulled from Canvas and ordered by due date.

  3. Drafts wait for you

    Essays and discussion posts 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

UT Arlington FAQ

You approve one NetIDplus prompt when the session starts from off campus. UTA moved Canvas multi-factor from Duo to Microsoft Authenticator in 2021, so signing into Canvas uses the same Microsoft Authenticator approval as your UTA Microsoft 365 account. The trusted session then persists, so you are not re-prompted on every run.
