How to Log In
Download Respondus Lockdown Browser Canvas Rutgers
To log into Canvas, go to the CPTC Canvas login page, at https://cptc.instructure.com/.
Canvas will always use your Student ID number as your username. The default password is the first 8 letters of your last name, all in small letters. If your last name contains fewer than 8 letters, repeat those letters until you have 8. For example, if your last name is Reed the password would be reedreed.
