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?
Hi, My institution is starting to use Respondus LockDown Browser. My question concerns an exam using the 'New Quizzes' engine that requires the use of LockDown Browser. Assuming that the 'early exit' feature is enabled in the LockDown Browser settings, if a student exits the exam early, will Canvas allow them to re-enter…
Hello, I am using checkpoint discussions. When I see that I have some submissions in my To Do list to grade, I click on it, go into Speedgrader, and now have to search to see which students have posted or not. It used to designate which students had posts to grade so it was easy to just go to those students. Something has…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
