You will not be able to access St. Joseph's University systems without enrollment. In the event that you forget your Network ID password, this service will allow you to reset your password. You will be required to remember answers to three questions that will be provided to you during the enrollment process.

  • Access WebAdvisor. Check your schedule, grades, register and pay your bill.
  • Access Canvas. Please note that each instructor has the option to use Canvas with his/her course.  Not all courses are Canvas enabled.
  • Access your St. Joseph's University Google Apps account.
  • You should also log into a campus computer using your Network ID and password.
