How do I begin a Catalog course or program?
You can begin your current in-progress Catalog courses and programs from your Student Dashboard.
If you enroll in a Catalog program, you must begin each course in Catalog. Canvas does not enroll you in a course or display the course in Canvas until you click the Begin Course or Go To Course button for each course requirement in the program.
Notes:
- Courses with an assigned start date cannot be started before that date.
- Courses that are part of a program may have to be completed in a set order.
Open Student Dashboard
Click the User drop-down menu [1]. Then, click the Student Dashboard link [2].
Locate Program
In the Student Dashboard, the In Progress tab opens by default [1].
In the Programs list, locate the program that includes the course that you want to begin [2].
Learn more about viewing the Student Dashboard.
Go to Course
In the Requirements list [1], locate the course you wish to begin.
To begin the course, click the Go to Course button [2].
Notes:
- Depending on the course design, some course listings may display a Begin Course button in place of the Go to Course button.
- If all courses in the Requirements list display a Go to Course or Begin Course button, courses may be completed in any order.
