Signing in to Penciil

Finding your institution’s Penciil

Penciil runs as a separate installation for each institution, so there is no single address everyone signs in at. Your institution’s Penciil has its own web address, and it is the one in your invitation email — or the one your department, IT team or LMS links to.

Signing in

1. Open your institution’s Penciil address.
2. Enter the email address associated with your account.
3. Enter your password and select Sign in.

If your course is connected to your LMS, you can also open Penciil from the course in Canvas, Moodle or Blackboard, and you will be signed in automatically. See Connecting your LMS.

Forgot your password?

Select Forgot password on your institution’s sign-in screen and follow the emailed link to set a new one.

Still cannot get in

If your email address is not recognised, you may have been invited under a different one — see Adding another email address and Merging accounts. If you were never invited, ask your instructor to add you to the course: an LMS launch proves who you are but does not enrol you.
