Understanding the error

When attempting to launch McGraw-Hill from Canvas, you may encounter the following error message:

"We're sorry. We cannot process this request because your e-mail address, first name, and/or last name is not being sent from your CALIF STATE UNIV CHICO account. Please contact your school administrator to resolve this. Error Code: LR15"
McGraw-Hill Name Error LR15

This issue may occur if:

  • You are a student or instructor using McGraw-Hill Connect in Canvas
  • You see an error indicating your name or email is not being sent
  • Your display first name or last name is blank in Account Center and Canvas

When McGraw-Hill is launched from Canvas, it requires your first name, last name, and email address to authenticate access. If a display first or last name is not set in Account Center, McGraw-Hill cannot process the request and will return this error. This is due to a limitation in how McGraw-Hill handles user data.

Resolve the error

To fix this issue:

  1. Follow the steps for Updating your Display Name in Account Center.
  2. Ensure both a Display First Name and Display Last Name are set.
    Display Name fields populated in Account Center
     
  3. Allow up to 24 hours for the update to sync with Canvas.
  4. Return to Canvas and launch McGraw-Hill again.

You should now be able to access McGraw-Hill resources without error.
