Canva

Canva is a web-based, easy-to-use design platform that allows you to create, edit and publish a wide range of visual content powered by templates, simple tools, and a library of photos, icons and fonts. Canva is available to all staff and students.

Getting access

All Monash University and Monash College students have access to Canva Campus – a premium version of Canva that unlocks the Canva Pro feature suite at no cost.

To access Canva Campus:

  1. Go to go.monash/canva.
  2. Log in with your Monash student account.
  3. You’ll be automatically added to Canva Campus – no sign-up or payment required.

Once you’re in, you’ll have full access to Canva Pro features, ready to use for all your projects.

If you’re experiencing login issues or having trouble accessing the platform, please contact eSolutions.

Features of Canva Campus

  • Education‑focused templates – ready‑made layouts for assignments, presentations, reports, resumes, and more. You can also access stock images, videos and audio.
  • AI design tools – such as:
    • Magic Write: use an initial prompt to generate, edit and refine written content, from presentation copy to social posts, saving time on drafting
    • Background Remover: instantly remove backgrounds from images, making it easy to create clean, professional-looking visuals
    • Magic Switch: quickly resize and reformat your designs for different platforms or purposes, without needing to start again.
  • Collaboration options – work together on group tasks in real time and share your designs easily with classmates.

Managing your Canva licence

You have a paid Canva licence linked to your Monash email

If you have a paid Canva account linked to your Monash student email and want to use Canva Campus instead, you can request a refund directly from Canva. Submit your request through the Canva support page.

You have bought a Canva licence (or have a free Canva licence) and want to move it to a private email

Follow Canva’s guide for copying designs or files before graduating.

If you use Canva for research or education, you can request a Canva Enterprise license. Just submit an expression of interest (EOI) form. If you don’t have access to Canva Enterprise, you can still use the free version of Canva with a reduced library of design elements. Take a look at the TeachHQ Canva page for details.

Features of Canva Enterprise

  • Brand management tools – centralized brand kits, templates, and approval workflows to keep all designs on‑brand.
  • Enterprise‑grade security – SSO, advanced admin controls, data residency options, and compliance‑ready safeguards.
  • Team and workflow controls – manage user permissions, collaborate across large teams, and streamline content approvals.
  • AI tools – Magic Studio features for generating content, converting formats, and scaling branded designs efficiently.
  • Integrations & support – connect to business apps, use custom APIs, and access enterprise‑level onboarding and 24/7 support.
