Publish or unpublish a course / Canvas

Problem

• Why can't students see my course in Canvas?
• How do I publish my course in Canvas?
• How do I unpublish a course in Canvas that I published too early?

Resolution

• Refer to the Canvas Guide for how to publish or unpublish your Canvas course
  • Note that once a course is published, students will have immediate access, and no graded work can be required before the term start date. Non-graded surveys or information can be offered, but not required. Once a student has accessed the course, it cannot be unpublished
  •  To determine when students can submit assignments or view other content, consider setting availability dates, using module locks, and/or publishing or unpublishing specific content. Refer to the Canvas Guides for more information:
    • What is the difference between assignment due dates and availability dates?
    • How do I lock a module?
    • How do I publish or unpublish an assignment as an instructor?
    • How do I publish or unpublish a discussion as an instructor?
    • How do I publish or unpublish a page as an instructor?
