I cannot find anywhere a tab for discussion or assignments even tho there are discussions and assignments in the syllabus. Is that something that I, as a student, can fix?
Hi there, @bizjet ...
It's a common practice among many instructors at various schools that use Canvas as their LMS (Learning Management System) to hide the "Discussions" and "Assignments" course navigation links along the left-hand side of a given course. Instead, what instructors do is use the "Modules" course navigation link to add in the discussion topics and assignment from those two areas into the "Modules" page. The "Discussions" and "Assignments" course navigation links are hidden from you and your classmates, yet your instructor can still give you access to the things on those pages from the "Modules" page. This *might* be how your instructor has configured things for your course. But, since almost all Community members wouldn't have access to your course or your school's Canvas environment, we cannot see exactly how your course might be set up by your instructor. If you contact your instructor, you can ask your instructor more about how he/she has set up the course. How do I get help with Canvas as a student?
I hope this will be of some help to you. Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!

We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
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…
