I can’t log in to my Canva account using my school email


With Google implementing age-based access settings, students who are:

  • under the age of 18
  • and have joined Canva with an email address set up with Google for Education

won’t be able to access Canva with their school email address until their school’s IT administrator configures access for the account.

To regain access, here’s what you can do.

If you’re a student

Reach out to your teacher or your school’s IT administrator and let them know you can’t access your Canva account. You may share this article with them for the steps to solve the issue.

If you’re a teacher

Reach out to your school’s IT administrator and let them know your students need help accessing their Canva account. You may share this article with them for the steps to solve the issue.

If you’re a school IT administrator

To make sure there'll be no access issues for students in your school, install the Canva Marketplace app for your Google Workspace domain.

  1. In the Admin console, go to Menu > Apps > Google Workspace Marketplace apps.
  2. Click on INSTALL APP.
  3. Search for Canva, then click Admin install.

Why am I seeing two Canva Apps?

Don’t worry if you see more than one Canva app in your Google App Launcher. It only means that your school admin has successfully installed the Canva Marketplace app for your Google Workspace domain.

You can use any of the installed Canva apps to launch Canva.

Still can’t log in with your school email?

If you’ve tried the steps above and still can’t log in using your school email, check with your IT admin first, as they can likely help you regain access.

If your IT admin is unable to help, use our account recovery form to request access to your account.

We will do our best to help, though we may need to take extra steps to ensure your account remains safe and secure.
