My Classes Aren't Showing up in Canvas

Courses typically show up on Canvas at the start of the semester. Online courses will show up the Saturday before classes begin. In-person courses show up whenever the professor decides to publish the course, which can be a couple days early or it could be the day the course starts. 

After registering for a course after the start of the semester, it can take up to 24 hours for it to appear on Canvas. If you have recently signed up for a course, you may need to wait that 24 hours before you are able to view it.

If your course has been published but it still isn't showing up in Canvas, here is the most common troubleshooting option to try.

1. Log into Canvas.

Canvas Dashboard

2. Click Courses.

Canvas menu

3. Click All Courses.

Canvas courses menu

4. The starred courses will be added to the main menu. Click the star icon to view your course on the main page.

All Courses page

5. You may need to scroll down to the Future Enrollments section to add the classes you will be taking in the upcoming semester.

NOTE: You can only star courses that are active. If Canvas isn't letting you star a course, check the Published column and make sure it says Yes. If it says No, you will need to wait for the course to be published.
