Get a Student Pairing Code

In order to create a parent observer account, you will need to have a "pairing code" from the account you wish to access. To get a pairing code, follow these steps:

  1. Have the student login to their Canvas account.
  2. The student will then click on their Profile button and click on "Settings."
  3. On the right side of the screen, click on the "Pair with Observer" button.
  4. Write down the 6 digit code.
