As an administrator, how do I help students reset password?
Hi there, @JanetThiel ...
Students should be able to reset their passwords on their own following the steps in this Guide:
How do I reset my password as a student?
I'm not sure how your login authentication is set up for Canvas at Georgian Court University, but many schools have set up some sort of single sign-on (SSO) process, and so they do not necessarily use the "out of the box" login screens that Canvas provides. Schools use their own login screens, and so resetting a password may have a different process at your school compared to how it is described in the linked Guide. Refer to the light blue box in that Guide for a better explanation.
If your school is using the standard Canvas login page and if you needed to change a student's password for him/her, you could do that using this Guide:
How do I manage a user's login information in an account?
Scroll down to the section on "Edit Login" where you can click on the pencil icon to put in a new password for the student to use. (Again, read through the information in the light blue box of this Guide, too.)
I hope this will help a bit. Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!

This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
