Canva now available to UC users

We're excited to announce our partnership with Canva, the all-in-one graphic design platform with leading-edge visual communication and design tools.

UC ANR staff can purchase Canva Pro subscriptions to enhance their design capabilities.

Cost

  • The UC-negotiated annual rate is $115 Per Seat.  This amount will be prorated for seats requested after July 2025. 

How to order

To request a Canva license, take the following steps:

Teams

Users will be added to one of two UC ANR Canva Teams. The UC ANR Communications Team will include communicators from our statewide programs. Each program will be assigned a group that can easily share content with users in other groups.

The UC ANR General Team has been established for users across all other departments/units who don't have an official communications role.  

Additional important information

What if I already have a current UC-paid Canva account?

Existing users will not be automatically added to the new UC contract and teams. They can still access Canva as they did previously. However, they are strongly encouraged to sign up for a new account at the lower user rate of $115/user/year.

If you join the new UC Canva account, Canva will refund the remainder of prepaid Pro licenses, but those users will have to move their designs over to the new account using these instructions.

Anyone with an existing paid Canva license will still have access to the teams they had access to before switching over to a new UC account.

What is the turnaround time between placing an order for Canva Enterprise and account activation?

We are aiming for a two-day (2-day) provisioning window.

How do I access my new Canva account?

With their license purchase, staff users will access Canva using their Single-Sign-On (SSO) credentials. New users will receive a welcome email.

Can existing UC Canva users transfer their designs?

Yes, existing UC Canva users will be able to seamlessly transfer designs over from one team to another using these instructions.

What level of data is Canva approved for?

Canva is approved for P1 and P2 data only. For more information, see Data Classifications.

Canva will not have the ability to detect or block P3 or P4 data. Please ensure that you are not including this level of data when using Canva.

Have the Canva AI features been approved at the system level?

All AI features have been disabled and may be enabled in the future when they are reviewed.

Where can I get help?
