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
  • Staff

Requirements

  • An active ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø account

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.
