Here is a list of 10 things you should know about your Canvas Courses menu
- The Courses menu and Dashboard sort published courses first, followed by unpublished courses.
- Teachers and Students have access to their Canvas courses for as long as they are at BC, unless the instructor blocks access.
- Courses not listed on your Courses menu or Dashboard, can be opened from your “All Courses” page. The link to “All Courses” is at the bottom of the Courses menu.
- Every Canvas course site is in a term with an end date. A term whose end date is past is at the bottom of the “All Courses” page under the heading “Past Enrollments.”
- For students, sites become “Past Enrollments” about 4 weeks after the end of the term; for teachers, about two years after the end of the term.
- A site that is a “Past Enrollment” is read-only.
- You can customize your Courses menu and Dashboard using the “All Courses” page. Any course with a colored star will be in the Courses menu and Dashboard; a course with a white one won’t.
- Clicking the star flips its color. A “Past Enrollment” cannot be added to the Courses menu or Dashboard.
- An un-customized Courses menu and Dashboard lists a maximum of 20 courses. Canvas will automatically update the menu and Dashboard to add your most current courses
- Canvas will remove from your Courses menu any Past Enrollments.
