Why can’t I see my class in Canvas?

Step 1: Check your Canvas Course List

First, double check that the course is in Canvas. You can see a complete list of your courses by clicking Courses, and scrolling down to All courses. Clicking All courses will take you to a complete list of your Canvas courses, including those that are unpublished.

To find a list of all canvas courses, click courses under the global navigation bar and scroll down until you see the all courses option

If you are enrolled in your course, but see that it is currently unpublished, don't panic! Some instructors publish their courses in Canvas before the quarter starts, and some will wait to publish their course until the first day of the quarter. If you can’t see your course, it is likely your instructor isn’t ready to publish the course in Canvas yet. If you still don’t see your course in Canvas by noon on the first day of the quarter, email the instructor.

Tip: if you can't find your instructor's contact information you can look up their name in the directory

Step 2: Check enrollment in ctcLink

If you don't see your course in Canvas, either published or unpublished, make sure that you’re enrolled in your course by checking your ctcLink student account Links to an external site.. If you aren’t enrolled, that could be why you can’t see your classes in Canvas.
