Follow these instructions to connect Canvas with the Pearson MyLab product included in your course. This is important to be able to deep integrate the assignments and pass grades back and forth between both systems. Remember to expand each checklist item to see screenshots and more information about that particular step.

Login to I-Learn Canvas.

Go to byui.instructure.com to login.

Go to your dashboard and find the course with MyLab.

Typically, this is a course coming up in the next semester. Currently, this can include math, economic, and geology courses.

Note: This may appear as a 'Pop-up' window, so you have to enable it if it's not opening.

You will need to authorize Canvas to access MyMathLab. Don't worry if this doesn't appear for you, since it may have already been authorized on your behalf as part of the integration setup process. Select "Authorize" in the Canvas box that appears to continue.
