Canvas Course Setup

by CLIC @ JDHL on 2022-01-03T15:26:00-06:00 | 0 Comments

Many Spring 2022 courses are now available in Canvas. Please utilize your Canvas course's access settings to ensure students are able to view your course as soon as it’s ready.

When setting up your Canvas course, decide between the Term and Course Participation options for managing student access to your course. The Term option is the default for newly-created Canvas courses and will allow students to access your course as soon as you publish it. Students will be able to participate in any open Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes.

Canvas Course Participation Settings

If you toggle the Participation dropdown to the Course setting—instead of the default Term option—student participation will be limited to the start and end date you enter in the Start and End date boxes (located below the Participation selector). If you use this option, remember to do the following:

  • Enter a Start or End date that corresponds with your class schedule.
  • Check either of the Restrict students from viewing course… checkboxes, as necessary.

Note: We recommend leaving both of these boxes unchecked.


For more information about managing access to your Canvas course, please visit this Canvas Instructor Guide page:
