# Get started with Canvas

> This guide walks you through connecting your SIS to Type the Word to roster your classes, and connecting to Canvas for assignment management.

Type the Word uses Clever
[AnySchool](https://support.clever.com/s/articles/000001726) to import your
schools, sections, teachers, and students. After that roster is in place,
[Clever LMS Connect](https://support.clever.com/s/articles/000001734) sends
assignments and grades to Canvas. Teachers and students launch Type the Word
from Canvas after matching finishes.

If your district already uses Clever, follow [Clever
setup](/clever) instead.

## Before you begin

* SIS administrator access so you can connect or export the roster Type the Word should import
* Canvas administrator access so someone can create a **"Developer Key"**
