How do I make a course public?

[SarahScifo]

Hi,

I created a course for a class that I am taking and need to send the link to my professor.  However, I sent the link for my course to a friend to check to make sure there are no restrictions and it is asking for her email and password.  Is there any way to make the course public so that anyone I send the link to can preview my course without restriction?  Thank you for your help!

Good morning, @SarahScifo ...

Yes, you can change the "Visibility" settings within your course "Settings" screen.  Set it to "Public".  Here are a few Guides for you to look at:

• How do I customize visibility options for a course?
• How do I customize visibility options for course content?
• Canvas Course Visibility Options

Keep in mind that, as the info in the light blue box indicates, you would need to reach out to your Canvas administrator at your school if you are not able to change this setting on your own.

I hope these will be of help to you!
