MyTextMate's Canvas Integration

If you're a Canvas administrator, this page will show you how to let your students use MyTextMate, a highly-requested academic tool that sends students daily personalized text messages to help them effortlessly stay on top of their upcoming due dates.

If you're a student interested in using MyTextMate, please share this page with your Canvas/Technology Support team and let them know that you want to use MyTextMate. You can also fill out this Request Your School Form and we'll try to reach out to them!
