We are looking for a way to ensure students complete our Orientation course prior to accessing their degree courses. Is there a way to gate courses so a user cannot access 1 course until they have completed certain activities in another course?
Hi @Ryan-Allen,
Canvas LMS does not have this as a built-in option. As a Canvas admin for higher-ed, I would say this sort if thing would generally be controlled by the student information system (sis) / registration system rather, which would pass enrollment information to Canvas at the appropriate time. We used to have an online orientation delivered through Canvas that students had to complete before they could register for classes (controlled by our admissions/sis systems), but for various reasons that was discontinued earlier this year.

Hi @Ryan-Allen ,
You might be able to do this using requirements and prerequisites in the orientation course and by setting the degree courses for self-enrollment requiring a "secret URL." You would create your Modules in the orientation course with requirements to ensure they complete all parts. Once they have completed the requirements, they would unlock an additional module, which is set with a prerequisite that they must complete the previous module. That final module would contain the link(s) to the degree course(s), in which they could then self-enroll.
How do I add prerequisites to a module?
How do I add requirements to a module?
How do I enable course self-enrollment with a join code or secret URL?
I am working on utilizing the new Portfolio feature for our review of evidence in the practicum experience. Limitations we have come across are that multiple instructors within a course are not able to see the portfolio, only the instructor who created it. Is this something that will be available in the future? Or is there…
It is possible to import tags or other metadata when importing in a QTI file? I've tried everything I can think of, but it seems to get stripped out every time. Are any metadata types allowed? I can bring in a batch of tags questions or manually tag each one. Tagging each one is not an option. I'm using New Quizzes, so I…
Is there a setting where I can hide my students grade summaries on the dashboard but keep the individual category grades visible for them on their main grade page? I'll describe a little below. I want the overall course grade to be hidden from my course image on the students' dashboard with all their other courses, but I…
Hi everyone We recently deployed the new Microsoft LTI in Canvas and have started using the option to create Microsoft Education assignments directly from Canvas. So far, the setup has been very easy and user-friendly. Unfortunately, we've run into a problem: when we try to change the due date of an assignment after it has…
I'm testing whether Mastery Paths can be used to give students early access to an item based on their score, while making the same item available to everyone else on a later date. Here is my setup: A 4-point assignment is the source for the Mastery Path. Students scoring 75–100% are assigned a Solutions item. The Solutions…
