When I try to add a new user to my course, it asks for the email address, but there is no field provided for the name of the student. How do I locate the form to add a student with name and email address?
Hi @DebraPierce ...
Are you working within the Canvas FFT (Free For Teacher) version of Canvas, or does your school have a paid Canvas environment? If you are working in a FFT version, it would have the URL:
https://canvas.instructure.com/
But, if you have a paid environment, it will look similar to:
https://SchoolName.instructure.com/
...where SchoolName is the name of your school.
In paid Canvas environments, many schools have their Canvas admins set up their users outside of courses. Many times, Canvas admins will work with the school's IT department so that student names/e-mail addresses can be passed from their SIS (Student Information System) to Canvas. Then, once the users are created outside of courses, then those users are enrolled in Canvas courses with roles of Students, Teachers, TAs, etc.
If you can help us identify if you are using FFT or a paid Canvas environment, that would help for context. Looking forward to hearing from you soon...

I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. 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…
