Canvas for Students

Canvas Guide for Students

I added a class, why don't I see it? (check SAGE)

There is a process for you to be added to a class, and it takes time. 

  1. First, the Registrar must receive your instructor-and-advisor-approved add/drop form.
  2. Once the approved add/drop form has been received, the Registrar adds you to the course roster in SAGE.
  3. Canvas syncs with SAGE rosters regularly, but it takes time, so you may not see yourself in the class for 24-72 hours.

I'm enrolled in a class in SAGE, why don't I see it on my Canvas dashboard?

  1. First, check that SAGE has synced with Canvas by navigating to your Dashboard.
  2. Next, click the "Courses" tab in the far left side of your screen. 
  3. Click "All Courses." Check the ENTIRE PAGE to see if your class shows up. 
  4. If you see your course, but it is not on your Dashboard, you can bookmark a set of courses to show up on your Dashboard. To do this, click the star in the "Favorite" column beside each course that you want to appear on your Dashboard. 
  5. Navigate back to your Dashboard. You should now see all the courses that you starred. If not, reload the page.
