2. Go OHIO will display a new screen that reads "Allow Canvas and Go OHIO to access your account." Select  Authorize.
   
3. The Canvas module will open and display information about the transition to Canvas, followed by the Canvas Quick View, which displays the user's personalized data, including courses, due dates, announcements, and inbox.

Outcome:Go OHIO should now display Canvas information every time a user logs into Go OHIO.

Canvas Quick View Options

Once Go OHIO has been authorized to display Canvas information, the Canvas Quick View will display the following information in widgets:

• Due Dates

Please Note:

• Selecting  View all links or any individual item in a widget will open the Canvas Student app on a mobile device (or prompt you to download the Canvas Student mobile app if not already installed). When accessing Go OHIO on a web browser, links will open within canvas.ohio.edu .

• The "Due Dates" widget in the Go OHIO app refers to the same content displayed in your "To Do List" in canvas.ohio.edu .
