Frequently Asked Questions

Why don’t I see my course on Canvas Dashboard page?

The Dashboard is your Canvas homepage where you access CURRENT courses or favorited courses. Courses which have not yet started and previous courses only appear on the Courses – All Courses page. In the Canvas app, only Current and Past courses how on the All Courses. You can only view upcoming courses in a web browser (not in the Canvas app).
