Single Sign On (SSO)
Single Sign On (SSO)
Single Sign On (SSO) simplifies user access to multiple applications. Here's how it works:
- Users enter their account credentials once to access a single SSO-enabled application, such as Canvas.
- Users can then access other SSO-enabled applications without re-entering credentials.
Features
- Synchronizes passwords and user information, making access to different platforms and resources easier.
- Improves network and application security by eliminating password fatigue.
- Enhances user experience by avoiding interruptions caused by frequent password requests when accessing essential IT tools.
Designed For
- Students
- Faculty

Data Security
- It is the account holder's responsibility to protect their account credentials, including usernames, passwords, and any other authentication information.
Get Started
Log in once to any SSO-enabled application such as Canvas using your ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø email address and password. If using the same browser, you should not be required to log in again to any other SSO-enabled application.
