Online Orientation

You can get started right away by logging in to Canvas and self-enrolling in the UW-Stout Technology Orientation Course and Stout Online Orientation. 

Note: Your username and password for Canvas are the same UW-Stout credentials used for any of the common logins.  

  • The UW-Stout Technology Orientation Course will show you how to navigate Canvas, our online learning platform.
  • The Stout Online Orientation will give you an overview of what you may expect as a student, provide a list of resources available to you, and give you a chance to practice using Canvas before your classes begin.
