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?
My school district has changed our required Learning Outcomes for all of our courses for this school year. How can I archive the 400+ Learning Outcomes we used last school year so they're still linked to our 25-26 courses but teachers can't use them in 26-27 courses going forward?
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 have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
