The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
Let me add to this:
If there a page where students can see my courses and enroll in them with or without accounts?
There is a setting that refers to a “public courses index page.” I do not know what this really means because we don’t use public courses, but it might be worth exploring.
Are you essentially looking for a course catalogue?
Yes. I need a page where users can ask to sign up for courses before they have a canvas account or even after. It appears to me the course tab only shows users the courses they are already in. How can users check out and sign up for new courses?
We are giving the Canvas Admins area a little bit of love and just want to check in with you. This will also bring this question new attention.
Were you able to find an answer to your question? I am going to go ahead and mark this question as answered because there hasn't been any more activity in a while so I assume that you have the information that you need. If you still have a question about this or if you have information that you would like to share with the community, by all means, please do come back and leave a comment. Also, if this question has been answered by one of the previous replies, please feel free to mark that answer as correct.
