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 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…
Hi everyone, Is there anyway I can download all discussion posts, similar to downloading assignments? Thank you. Zehra
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
