[ARCHIVED] Adding a second course to the Canvas app as a student

[shaffer_k1]

I am a teacher who uses the Free Canvas Accounts. I teach multiple courses, and I know how to get students enrolled in my Canvas course. My question is this: from the student perspective, how do they add a second course to their account from the Canvas app on their phone? Where do they go to add the new course code?

Hi @shaffer_k1 

I believe you need to send them an email with a link to the course. They would click on it and enter the course code.

If you are sending out invitations, when the students login the should see a banner notice asking them to accept an invitation to the second course.  Also, they may get an email invitation.

I have students who are only able to use their mobile devices and are struggling with how to enroll in a free canvas account course. Most of the information I see assumed that they can log in on a laptop first.
