How do I edit the information in the "Course Information" block?

This FAQ concerns the information found in the "Course Information" block by default on degree program Canvas course sites, that is, the information that looks like this:

Course information block for T557 showing widget under heading

This information cannot be edited in Canvas. This information synchronizes with the official course information housed in the my.harvard course catalog.

If information is incorrect, or needs to be updated, one must contact the Registrar's Office to request the amendment in the official record. Once updated, it will display in Canvas automatically after around an hour delay.

If you wish to show only a selection of the information, one can remove the widget that displays this information entirely and then replace it with ordinary Canvas text. To do this, merely select the image showing within the "iframe wrapper" (you need to have Cidilabs DesignPlus active) and click delete twice. The first delete will remove the widget; the second delete will remove the iframe wrapper. Pre-deletion, it should look like this:
