Is there a way to update a student's name on the Roster/People View of the course? Context: I use a Free For Teachers account. When I uploaded the roster, I used the student's email address. For some reason, once they were logged in, their names are displayed as a series of numbers and letters. This is across multiple…
Good day. I created a student account instead of a teacher account. Can you please delete my account so that I may register for the correct account type? Your assistance will be very much appreciated.
How do I get the Favorite function (stars to the left of each course title) to show in All Courses when it is not there?
I'm using Free-for-Teacher Canvas as an instructor, and one of my students is unable to reset her password and log in. The email triggered by the "forgot password" request never arrives in her inbox. (She checked spam). I actually deleted her from the class and re-added her. That triggered an invitation to join the class…
Is it possible to copy or duplicate a course when we are using the free version of Canvas LMS? Thank you!

Hello, I’m currently trying to publish my course on Canvas, but I haven’t received the verification link that is needed to complete the publication process. Could you please guide me on how I can receive the verification email or if there’s anything I need to check on my end? Thank you very much for your help.
I've submitted a help ticket but thought maybe I could find a solution through these discussion posts. My students can't upload files to submit their assignments. I know there were some changes with switching to the new log in screen and the LMS updates to the Canvas navigation and that may have something to do with it.…
The Peoples list page does not provide a button for sorting students in alphabetical order of name or last name. The Grades list has an option for sorting the list of student in alphabetical order that does not works. The list is randomly sorted. Any suggestion for a fix?
I am a new user to Canvas LMS and created a new free account. I want to set up a couple of courses and students and my understanding is that I need an Admin account to add users/students. How do I create or get access to an admin account?
I gave a test today and one student said that he could see when logged in to his student canvas account unpublished material including the test's answer key. I told him to take and send me a screen shot. I just double checked and he is enrolled as Student and in student view I don't see my unpublished material. What could…
Some of my student are concerned about microphone issues. When I start the lesson and students join, they can not open their microphone, it says we need access to your microphone, when they click retry, it does not solve. (what are the possible solutions for this on Mac, windows computers, and Samsung telephones
Since the transition to the new login interface, I keep getting an error that says "failed to fetch," I have to click on Browse Courses to get to my dashboard. I tried to log in with Google using the same email address as the account I already created, and it went to a brand new account. Is anyone else getting this error?…
I don't have admin functions as a free user. Can I restore a deleted course?
