Account NSW Government Education

To use a NSW Government Education email with Canvas and Microsoft tools, the school’s IT admin must have set up Microsoft 365 and Teams integration with Canvas. After that, signing in and accessing homework generally works like this:

1. Open a browser and go to your school’s Canvas site.
2. Sign in to Canvas using the username and password given by your school (often your NSW Education email and password). If this doesn’t work, contact your school IT or teacher to confirm the correct login.
3. Once in Canvas, select the course where the homework is.
4. If the course uses Microsoft Teams or Microsoft Education activities:
   • To connect Teams for the course, your teacher or admin does:
     1. In the Canvas course, go to Settings → Integrations.
     2. Turn on Microsoft Sync.
     3. Go to Navigation, drag Microsoft Teams into the active area, and Save.
     4. Select Microsoft Teams in the course navigation and sign in with the same NSW Education Microsoft 365 account.
   • To use Microsoft Assignments or 365 documents in Canvas, your teacher can add them from Assignments or Modules using Microsoft Education. You then open the assignment in Canvas and it will prompt for your Microsoft 365 sign-in (use your NSW Education email and password).

If sign-in fails or you don’t know the correct password for your NSW Education email, only your school or NSW Department of Education support can reset or fix that account. Contact your school IT helpdesk or teacher and tell them you cannot sign into Canvas/Microsoft with your NSW Education email.
