Hi @heid0785 
This could be a couple of things. First port of call is it could be a browser issue:
Here are some ideas for you to try:
- Check your device compatibility: What are the basic computer specifications for Canvas?
- Check your browser compatibility: Which browsers does Canvas support? Note that Internet Explorer 11 is not a supported browser.
- Try a different browser. The latest version of Chrome works great in both Windows and MacOS.
- If none of these methods solve the problem, contact Canvas Support. General instructions are in How do I get help with Canvas as a student?, but your school's support setup might vary somewhat, in which case ask your local IT Department for additional troubleshooting assistance.
- There may be some other reasons that you cannot access your courses in Canvas...some of which are outlined here: Why can't I access my Course as a student?
Also, have you checked All Courses? Your hidden course might be here.
How do I view my favorite courses in the Card View Dashboard as a student?
Remember that :
Favorited courses are removed from the Card View Dashboard when the course is concluded. Concluded courses that were previously favorited are still shown as favorited in the Courses list.
Sing out if you need a hand.
