Publish Your Spring 2021 Canvas Course Shells Jan. 8

Please keep in mind, you are expected to publish all your Canvas shells for classes starting January 11 on the morning of January 8. Please do not publish it before that date. Publishing a course too early interferes with cross-listing (see below) and may allow a student to progress too far in the course without guidance.

For classes starting later in the term, you should publish your Canvas shell three days before the start of the session, that is when students will be told to look for the course on Canvas. Remember….you are the one that must publish your course in order for students to see it. NOVA Canvas Support cannot publish your courses for you. Students cannot access your course if it is not published.

It is not necessary to set the Start date for the course within Settings. If you edit this, students will not have access to the course until that date/time and will not have access to course announcements or Zoom links within your course prior to that date.
