Why is my course not showing on my dashboard?

If your course in not showing on your dashboard, please first check your full list of courses by going to "Courses" on the sidebar then clicking "All Courses". If you have completed your course, it may have been "concluded" and in the list of "Past Enrollments". Such courses do not appear on the dashboard. For more detail on the Canvas course conclusion policy, see here: Canvas Course Conclusion Policy (PDF) 

If your course is not listed, you likely do not have access to the course. Refer to our FAQ on Why do I not have access to my course site?

If your course is in your list of "All Courses", and is still an active course, but not on your Dashboard, this is likely because you either have not "starred" the course in your list of "All Courses", or, you have not starred any courses in your list of "All Courses" and you are enrolled in too many for the Dashboard to display them all. This is very common.

Please consult the following guides to arrange your Dashboard so the courses you wish to display there do so, and courses you may wish to remove from the display do not do so.

• How do I view my Canvas courses?
• How do I customize my Course list?
• How do I create a nickname for my course?
