How to disable syllabus in navigation and upload syllabus file to module
print icon

We highly recommend that you use the Syllabus page provided within your Canvas course to house your syllabus. It may seem convenient to bypass the Syllabus page altogether, but using it creates a much more intuitive experience for your students. If you are looking to upload a syllabus file to your course, we recommend adding that syllabus file to the description area on the Syllabus page.

While creating your syllabus file, you will need to make sure that its content is accessible to students regardless of any visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, or neurological disabilities they may have and any assistive technology they may be using. We recommend that you confirm that your syllabus file is accessible before uploading it to your course. Learn how to create accessible Word files.
