In Canvas Catalog, you can purchase multiple enrollments and invite students to sign up for the reserved seats in a Bulk Enrollment.
When you check out, Catalog preserves your enrollment spot(s) in capped courses for ten minutes while you complete the enrollment process. Paid courses and programs require payment as part of the enrollment process. You can also add promotion codes at checkout.
The first time you purchase bulk enrollments in a catalog listing with your institution, you must complete your registration.
Notes:
- Before you can view your institution's Catalog listings, you may need to log in to Canvas.
- Depending on how your institution has configured the Catalog course enrollment process, you may be required to complete enrollment fields that are not shown here.
- The appearance of the Catalog Listings page may vary depending on the platform version or any custom styling applied through website code, such as CSS, JS, or HyperText Markup Language (HTML).
Because payment options vary from institution to institution, the payment process is not documented here. For assistance paying for listings through your institution's payment gateway, please contact your institution's help desk.
