Starting on August 15, 2025, Duo multi-factor authentication (MFA) through the Rice University Web Single Sign-On (WebSSO) service will be required for access to Canvas, Kaltura, Gradescope, and Zoom.
Duo protects Rice systems against cyber attacks and is already required on many services. If you have been using Duo MFA, you will be prompted to complete the sign-in using the method you had previously chosen (passcode, push notification, sms, etc.) when signing in to these tools.
For more information on Duo at Rice, visit the Complete Guide to Duo. If you’d prefer not to use your mobile phone for multi-factor authentication, please visit Duo Alternative Authentication Methods.
Adding this step protects our accounts from the constant attacks we continue to observe against our environment. Thank you for your support in protecting our campus IT resources.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the OIT Help Desk.
