Does the canvas course have to be made public before you add students to course. Also, everytime I input student email in people section to add them, it says it cannot find email.
Hello there, @KellianHughes ...
No, a course does not have to be made public before students can be added. Are you using the Free For Teachers (FFT) version of Canvas, or are you using a paid Canvas environment through your school? If using a paid version, your school might already have a process in place so that your students are automatically added to your course(s)...typically via their SIS (Student Information System).
To answer the second part of your question, normally users are added at the Canvas account level first. Then, if users are added to a course (student, instructor, TA, etc.), then Canvas will automatically find their account and add them to the course. Since you are getting a message that the user cannot be found, it sounds like that student was not first added at the Canvas account level. If you are using a paid Canvas environment, you might want to speak with your school's Canvas administrator to see exactly what the process is for getting students added to the course.
Hopefully this information will help. Please let Community members know if we can be of further assistance. Thanks!

Has anyone noticed that the feedback sidebar window has gone to larger spacing? Does anyone know if there is a way to change it back? Not a major deal just a bit annoying is all. Thanks.
Are you using MyTextMate's Canvas integration, or are you relying on Canvas's push notifications to deliver crucial information about due dates and events to students? Did you know push notifications have an open rate of 2%? Compare that to text messages, which have an open rate of 98%! MyTextMate allows students to…
I am trying to generate the Item Analysis report ONLY for the current students enrolled in the course, not for previous participants. Despite deactivating and removing the former students, the Item Analysis report is still including their information. I need information for the current 5 participants, not the past 5, but…
I am trying to setup automatic email alerts to the students once the assignment due date has crossed. Is there a way to do that with Free for Teachers Canvas or other alternate options?
