Course Access Instructions

• If you have taken a K-State taught class before, please continue to step two. You will use and submit the same K-State eID that you used previously.
• If you have not taken a K-State taught class before, go to https://www.k-state.edu/it/resources/access-software/eid/ and click on the purple box “Register for an eID”.
• Select Other (visiting scholar, affiliate, contractor, etc) option under the Tell Us About Yourself section.
• As a non-K-State student you do not have a WID. Do not enter a number or your social security number in the box requesting this information. You can continue without it.

• Complete the K-State Course Access form online
• If you do not submit your eID to the K-State Course Access form, your eID will not be activated.
• It typically takes 2-7 business days for your eID to be verified and activated.

• Check your course start dates, textbook information, instructor information, and much more by reviewing the Course Information pages for your program.
• You will access your K-State taught course through our learning management system, Canvas.
• For help with Canvas, check out these resources.
• Typically, courses will not be open and available on Canvas until the first day of class.
• If you experience any difficulties with your eID, please inform your instructor and the K-State Campus Coordinator.

When you take a course with us, you are a member of our big, purple family.

• The IDEA Student Success Center provides several writing and research resources.
