is there a way to combine Canvas pages if the classes have different codes? I have classes with different grade levels. I'd like Canvas pages to reflect the 3 grades, not each class code..

Combining courses together in Canvas is called cross-listing. It's generally recommended that if you want to cross-list two or more courses together, that this process be completed before the courses start...not during. Cross-listing courses essentially moves enrollments from one course to another so that you would see all students in one course. It does NOT move any course content. So, for example, if you had three courses that you wanted to cross-list together, and all three of those courses had the same course content (let's say it was three separate "Tent Camping A", "Tent Camping B", and "Tent Camping C" courses), you could cross-list all three of these together so that all enrollments from the B and C courses get put into the A course. You and your students would only see course A listed on your Canvas Dashboard. They would not see course B or C ... even though that is what they had initially signed up for. If, however, you had three courses with totally different curriculum in each, cross-listing would not move the content of course B and course C into course A. Again, it only moves instructor/student enrollments.
Cross-listing isn't something that all instructors can carry out themselves. Often, a school will limit this permission so that only Canvas administrators can do this for instructors. This may or may not be the case for you, so I'd encourage you to have a conversation with folks at your school who have admin access to see what your options are...and even if cross-listing is something they would be willing to do. You may also want to consider FERPA when you have these conversations.

I hope this information will help in some way. Sing out if you have any questions about this...thanks!
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I wonder if others have had this response, but I think it is troubling messaging for students that, no matter how well they may do on an assignment, they are given a signal that anything below a perfect score should be marked/denoted with a red color, as if those grades are poor, or even lesser. I think it is harmful for…
