Good afternoon. I can use my Canvas School website to see the classes in which I am enrolled, but I can't seem to click on the link for the online course I am taking. I'm having trouble getting into my courses.
Hi there, @LissetRomero ...
When you look at your "Courses" >> "All Courses" screen ... How do I view all my Canvas courses as a student? ... Are any of the courses you are trying to access published? There is a column on the "All Courses" screen that indicates if the courses are published or not. If the courses are not published, your instructors have not made the content available to you and your classmates yet. Generally, your instructors should publish courses on or near the official course start date. You may want to reach out to your school's Canvas administrator or someone from their Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Education team if the courses have already started yet the courses are not published. They would be able to do some more investigation on your behalf.
I hope this will help!

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…
