Make your course available to students

For students to receive your Announcements and see your course content, you will need to publish your course and the items you want them to see. Also, you'll need to be sure the course start date and the sections dates are not in the future.

 

 

  • From the Canvas Dashboard, click on the name of your course.

  • Click Home on the course menu.

  • In the Course Status section, click Publish.
    • Depending on the size of your screen, your Course Status section could be on the right hand side of your page or toward the bottom of the page.

  • Once your course is published, students can view published items within your course.
