CUSTOMIZE COURSE NAME

ARE WE ABLE TO CHANGE THE NAME OF OUR COURSES SO THAT WE CAN DIFFERENTIATE THEM?

Hi  @jason_s_hale  Welcome to the Canvas Community!

No need to yell, I can hear you just fine.

Yes, this is possible if you Canvas Admin has enabled this function.  Many schools do not, because it can make it harder to find courses on the Admin side. However, you can give your courses nicknames on the course cards on your dashboard.

These two guides describe how to do this, but essentially, you click the ellipses (three vertical dots) in the upper right corner of a course card.

• How do I view my favorite courses in the Card View Dashboard as an instructor? 
• How do I view my favorite courses in the Card View Dashboard as a student? 

Otherwise, you could ask your Canvas Admin to give that permission to faculty.

I hope this is helpful,

Kelley
