2. Locate the link to the Norton activity and click it.

3. The Norton product launch page or specific activity for the book you are using will open in a new browser tab. You will be prompted to sign, use your Norton instructor account to sign in.   

4. On the Norton product page, confirm that you see a green badge labeled Connected to LMS. If instead you see a red LMS Connection Not Made badge, contact your  Norton representative for assistance or go to Reporting error messages below.

  • If using Smartwork or ZAPS individual activity links, the Connected to LMS notification appears in the user options menu, which you will see by clicking your username in the upper right of the activity page.

  • If you do not see Connected to LMS in the user options menu,  contact your Norton representative for assistance or go to Reporting error messages below.

  • If you see a red X next to Single sign-in or Automatic grade transfer, contact your Norton representative or go to Reporting error messages below.
  • If you see a yellow ? next to Automatic grade transfer, close the Norton product tab in your browser and reconfirm that you launched the link from your Canvas course in Student View or are using a student account.
