Upcoming System Upgrade

UC Scout is upgrading our enrollment and login system in early February 2026. When the new system launches:

  • You’ll sign in through a new login page on the UC Scout website.
  • You’ll access Canvas through this new login—any old bookmarks will need to be updated.
  • On your first login, you may need to verify your email or reset your password.
  • All your courses and data will still be in Canvas.

What’s changing?

A new, easier-to-use account system will help you create your UC Scout account, enroll in courses, manage your information, and view payments. Your coursework will remain in Canvas—only the way you log in is changing.

To prepare for the transition to the new system for UC Scout accounts, verify your current email address in our system is correct. To view or make changes, follow these steps:

  • Log in to your UC Scout purchaser account
  • Click the My Account tab
  • Click Update Profile from the dropdown menu
  • Scroll to the bottom until you reach the section Contact
  • Update your email address (if needed)
  • Click Save to confirm your changes

Note: If you currently use a school-issued email address, consider changing to a personal email address now since school-issued accounts often block emails from outside senders. 

No, your course content inside Canvas will stay the same. This update changes how you access your course(s), not what you can do once you’re there. 

Yes. Your UC Scout account, enrollments, and course progress will transfer automatically. There is nothing you need to do to ensure your data carries over.

We’re here to support you during this transition. If you have questions or concerns, please contact our support team at ucscout@ucsc.edu.
