Accessing courses from past semesters in Canvas

Note: This does NOT apply to courses prior to Fall 2021. 

In Canvas, your Canvas Dashboard and Courses list will only display courses for the current or a future term. You can see all courses in which you are enrolled as either a Teacher or Student by selecting All Courses in the Courses link in the left-hand side menu (See Figure 1).

To add a past course to your Canvas Dashboard, select the Star icon next to the course name while in the All Courses view (See Figure 2).
