Ready, Set, Canvas!

Ready, Set, Canvas!

With the Summer term upon us, here’s a quick checklist to make sure your Canvas course is ready to go:

🔧 Course Setup

• Merge sections? Contact CTL to combine lectures, labs, or tutorials.
• Library Reserves (LOCR): Add your reading list via the Library Online Course Reserves.
• Early access (Optional): Open your course early so students can preview materials.
• Access: Instructors and teaching assistants (TAs) are automatically added to a Canvas course once they have an active appointment to teach in Workday. Please contact your department Admin Assistant if there are any access issues for these roles.

📂 Course Materials

• Re-use content: Import materials from a previous course to save time.
• Control grade visibility: Consider setting grades to post manually to control when students see them.
• Check your dates: Make sure assignments and quizzes have the correct due dates.
• Publish your content: Modules and pages won’t be visible until they’re published!
