#  Can I make my course site public so potential cross-registrants from other universities can see enrollment information? 

 



During course preview period, course sites should be set to "Institution" visibility. However, we appreciate that some courses have significant interest from students from partner institutions such as MIT and faculty may wish to allow such students to access their Canvas course site during the course preview period.

In order to do this, you have two options:

1. Set the course site "public", but **only publish the Homepage**. In other words, your site must be setup so that students of any stripe can only access a single page -- the homepage.
2. Set the course site limited to "course", but **set the "Syllabus" page to "public"**.

In either case, only **one** page will be available, but will be available to all students inside and outside the institution.

You must also inform the instructional technology team. **An automatic job runs to remove public visibility from all sites unless a manual exception is made**.
