Before you begin, make sure you have:
- A Canvas Instructor account
- Access to the course you want to publish
- At least one piece of course content (Canvas requires content before publishing)
Canvas is slightly different than Blackboard. If your course is not published, the students cannot see it on their dashboard at all. If students email you about not being able to see your course, first go and check if your course is published. If it is not, you've likely found the reason why they cannot see it!
Step 1 : Go to Your Course
- Log in to Canvas.
- From the Dashboard, click the course you want to publish.
Step 2: Check the Course Status
On the course Home page, look at the top right corner. You will see one of the following:
- Unpublished (gray)
- Published (green)
If your course is unpublished, students cannot see it yet.
Step 3: Publish / Unpublish the Course
Click the Publish button in the top-right corner of the course Home page if the course is currently unpublished. Similarly, to unpublish a published course, click the Unpublish button to change the course to an unpublished state.
Success ! Your Canvas course has been successfully published / unpublished. If you have questions or need assistance, contact northinstitute@oc.edu
