Online Courses Frequently Asked Questions

The USask Network Services ID (NSID) is a unique identifier that is three letters followed by three numbers (e.g. abc123).

An NSID and password is required to access any CME online course. 

When you register for a course, you will be emailed your NSID. 

If you have forgotten your NSID, please follow the instructions below to retrieve it:

• Access “My Profile” https://myprofile.usask.ca
• Click on “Forgot password?” (it is beneath the "Sign In" button) 
• Click on "I forgot my username"
• Enter your recovery email or phone number you used when registering for the course and click "Continue". (Your recovery email will not be a Usask email address)
• Once you get a successful indicator, you will receive a message or text on your recovery email or phone with the NSID.
• You should be able to sign in with your NSID. If you do not know your password, read the How can I reset my password section.

If you are getting an 'invalid credentials' error, please try resetting your password. If the problem persists, please use the "Contact us" button at the bottom of this page, or email us cme.events@usask.ca

Please note that access to a course is restricted until the course start date and the course will not appear on your Canvas dashboard until then. 

You can access and view your courses, including upcoming ones you are registered for on your Canvas Courses page https://canvas.usask.ca/courses Access by logging in with your University of Saskatchewan NSID and password. 

After the course has finished, you will be able to review the course for 1 year, after which time it will become archived.

If you are having issues accessing Canvas, we recommend that you use either Chrome or Firefox as your browser and empty your browser cache.
