Is the a limit to the number of students who may be enrolled in a course at one time?

Hi @carl_pfaff . Canvas doesn't have a specified limit on the number of students you can enrol on a course. However if you have a very large number of students on one course it can cause problems for the teacher as certain pages become slow to load, for example the Gradebook or assignment/quiz settings when you're selecting specific students to assign it to. I've found that page load times start to become slow once you get to around 1000 enrolments.

Thanks for the information. I appreciate it. Exactly what I needed to know.
