If you have an existing Canva account with your campus email address, login through the Canva tile on login.pugetsound.edu so you can be added to your campus team. Now, you can switch between your existing Canva projects and your new features within your Canva Student account. 

If you have an existing Canva account with a personal email address and not your campus email address, you will want to make sure you're signed out of your personal account and login through the Canva tile on login.pugetsound.edu to access all of the premium features of your Canva Student account.

If you currently have a Canva account using your Puget Sound email, you will not lose any of your work.  In fact, your account will remain entirely in place.  You will simply have a new team added.  You can toggle between teams in the upper right of the home page navigation.  
 

You will have to transfer your work from your personal account to the PS Students team, however, to access all of the premium features.  Please follow the steps laid out here to transfer projects between teams, or follow this video walkthrough.
