How do we make a course available to students?

Hi  @kristine_gose ‌,

Thanks for your question! Once you have added course content and students have been enrolled, you can publish the course to give students access. Please check out https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-13030-415257126 for more details and let us know if you have additional questions.

Thanks,

Emily

Hi  @kristine_gose  Welcome to the Canvas Community!

All you need to do is publish it How do I publish a course? 

If you are asking how to add students..............

Adding students depends on a couple factors (at least): is your school using an installation of Canvas or are you using a Free-for-Teachers (FFT) version of Canvas?

If your school has a Canvas instance: your enrollments will most likely happen through the school, but not all the time. Check out this guide if your school is not managing student enrollments in Canvas How do I add users to a course? However, I would strongly suggest talking with your school's Canvas Admin/Support department.

If you are using Free For Teachers: you can find a great discussion at Adding new users to FFT , and you may also want to participate in this focus group Free-For-Teachers
