If you've registered for a course in myFSU Student Central but can't find it in Canvas, there are a few reasons that it might not appear yet.

Has the semester started yet?

Students are not put into their course sites until approximately 10 days before the term begins. Students are automatically added to their Canvas course sections after enrolling in a course in myFSU Student Central. Students will not be manually enrolled in a Canvas course.

Did you add the course fewer than 24 hours ago?

Canvas enrollments don't update immediately, so you may want to just check back in a few hours. You will only be able to access the course in Canvas after the next automated enrollment process has run.

Do you see the course listed in Courses > All Courses?

Courses may not automatically appear on the dashboard, but they are often still available in All Courses. If you like to "favorite" certain courses so that you only see select classes in your Dashboard, then you may need to go to the All Courses page and adjust your "favorites."

Canvas global navigation menu with Course > All Courses highlighted.

 

Is the course published?

 

When looking in Courses > All Courses there will be a column that says if the course is published or not. Locate the course and look to the column to the far right. If there is a "no" the course is not published and no students will be able to access it.

All Courses page with the Published status column highlighted.

Next Steps

If you have checked all of the above steps and still cannot find your course in Canvas or the timeline doesn't apply, please submit a ticket to ODL Technical Support.
