How do I access Canvas WU with a Microsoft Guest account?

You can log into Canvas WU during the master's program admission process. This can be helpful to view relevant information, learning materials and to prepare for the assessment phase. You will need a Microsoft account to log in. A Microsoft Guest account was created for you with your positive offer to a master's program at WU Vienna, unless you have an active WU account. If you already have an active WU account, you can log ion to Canvas with your WU account. If you already have a Microsoft account with the email address used in the application, you can log in to Canvas WU with that account.

To activate a Microsoft Guest account, follow these steps:

You will find the activation link of your Microsoft Guest account in the master application tool under the menu item „FURTHER INFORMATION“.
Activate the Guest account.
Log in to Canvas WU with your personal email address and password of your choice.

The Microsoft Guest account is valid until you appear in the Admissions Office in the Study Service Center (Building LC, +2), complete the admissions process and receive your WU account.

As soon as you have logged into Canvas with your regular WU account for the first time, only this account is valid for Canvas.

In the meantime, you can access Canvas WU using the Microsoft Guest account during the admission process.

NOTE: If you have already pursued studies at WU Vienna, then you already have a WU account. If this account is inactive, it will be reactivated when you complete your admission. From that point on, you will only have access to Canvas WU with your WU account.

If you have any questions about the Microsoft Guest Account or login to Canvas WU, please contact digitalteaching@wu.ac.at .
