How do I upload a syllabus in Canvas?

[Chris_Hofer · Accepted solution]

Hello  @tanderson14  Welcome to the Canvas Community.  Thank you for posting your question.  I'm assuming that you are an instructor?  A syllabus can look very different for lots of people.  It could be an entire course or it could be just the "things you need to know" type of document that outlines instructor contact information, objectives for the course, grading information, etc.  Could you please provide some additional details on the kind of syllabus content you would like to upload to your course.  This will give us here in the Community a better idea of how we can help you.  Thanks!

Yes. I would like to upload two syllabi on Canvas for my students to follow during spring semester 2024. I would also like to delete old syllabi from Canvas so as not to confuse the courses. I cannot find straight forward instructions on loading new syllabi or deleting old syllabi.    Professor Leon Dash

Hi @LeonDash ,

What is the format of the syllabi you are wanting to upload? 

How were the previous syllabi uploaded?

Were they PDFs, Google Docs, Word files, something else?

I want to upload two syllabi for two separate courses and delete four syllabi for old courses. The loading of syllabi were done for me by a technician last semester.

My professor would like to upload an entire syllabus document.  Could you please assist with that?

Hi, @LoisRockwell , please give your instructor the link to the instructions for uploading a file:  How do I upload a document in the Rich Content Edi... -  The instructor can feel free to ask follow-up questions directly in this forum.

I wish I could say that this worked but uploading did not.  I will try again!  Thanks for the detail!!!
