Canva Enterprise at Boise State

Many faculty and staff are already using Canva in different ways — Pro, Teams, or free accounts. Moving to Canva Enterprise brings us together in one secure, centrally managed environment. It improves security, simplifies license management, and ensures we’re aligned with contract and licensing best practices. It also makes collaboration across campus much easier.

No — you should not lose your content if you follow the transition steps. When you log in through Boise State’s Single Sign-On (SSO) and migrate your account correctly, your existing designs will move with you. We’ll provide clear instructions to make this process smooth.

Current Pro or Teams users can transfer existing designs into Enterprise. Transfer designs before canceling a paid plan using this guide: Transfer designs.

You’ll log in using your Boise State credentials through SSO and follow the account migration prompts. If you already use your Boise State email for Canva, the transition is usually straightforward. This step-by-step guide will walk you through it: Transfer designs.

Existing Teams will need to transition into the Enterprise environment. In most cases, your content can be moved into the new structure. We know collaboration spaces are important for departments, so we’ll work to make this as seamless as possible.

Canva’s Enterprise agreement requires individual user licenses tied to a person’s credentials. Shared accounts (like mail drops) don’t meet security and contract standards. Moving to named-user access improves security, accountability, and long-term stability.

Please reach out to Canva Support to cancel your Canva Pro or Teams annual subscription and request a refund.

Monthly subscriptions will not receive a refund. After transferring content, cancel your monthly subscription in the app.

Yes. Departments will fund their own Canva Enterprise licenses at $195 per seat annually. The updated pricing reflects Enterprise-level features, expanded security, and improved collaboration tools that support our campus needs.

SSO means you log in using your Boise State credentials. This improves security, reduces password management issues, and ensures access automatically updates when roles change. It also helps protect university data.

In most cases, Enterprise includes the same features as Pro — plus added administrative controls and collaboration benefits. If you’re using a feature and are unsure whether it’s included, let us know and we’ll help clarify.

Along with the great training resources available in Canva, we’ll provide campus training sessions and ongoing support. Our goal is to make this transition clear, manageable, and low-stress. If you get stuck, we’re here to help.

After rollout, Canva Enterprise will be the only way to access Canva using a boisestate.edu email. To avoid losing access or interrupting your work, we encourage everyone to complete the transition before SSO becomes required July 1, 2026.

As we build out our enterprise account, brand templates will migrate from Marq in phases, starting with general templates, Bronco Day, and Beyond Boise State. Additional campaign templates will roll out based on event timing.

Canva Enterprise is Boise State’s official design templating platform, with built-in brand kits, ready-to-use templates, and shared tools that make it easy to create on-brand materials quickly. While Adobe Express supports RGB for digital designs, it does not support CMYK for printing—making Canva Enterprise the better choice for both digital and print.

Yes, Canva offers accessibility features and tools, but creating accessible content starts with the choices you make as a designer. Our Canva accessibility resources page includes tips and best practices to help you create content that meets our accessibility standards.
