[ARCHIVED] Module button missing on class dashboard

[avazquez2308]

I don't have modules on my dash board for this semesters class.

How do I get the module button on my canvas?

Hi,  @avazquez2308  Welcome to the Canvas Community! We think you might be referring to the course cards on the Dashboard that represent the courses in which you're enrolled—and if so, this might be due to an issue with an incompatible/unsupported browser. Please try these troubleshooting steps:

• Check your device compatibility: What are the basic computer specifications for Canvas?
• Check your browser compatibility: Which browsers does Canvas support?  (Note that Internet Explorer 11 is not a supported browser, and if you're using IE11, you should have been automatically redirected to a page providing additional instructions.)
• Try a different browser. The latest version of Chrome works great in both Windows and MacOS. If Chrome is giving you issues, switch to the latest version of Firefox.

If none of these methods solve the problem, contact Canvas Support. General instructions are in How do I get help with Canvas as a student? but your school's support setup might vary somewhat, in which case ask your local IT Department for additional troubleshooting assistance.

Hi  @avazquez2308  Welcome to the Canvas Community!

I need to clarify - Are you not seeing your course cards on the Canvas Dashboard - the first page you see when you log into Canvas?  How do I use the Dashboard as a student? and https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10588-4212717404 should be helpful.

Or, are you not seeing the Modules link in the course navigation menu when you first enter a Canvas course?  In this case, it is likely that your instructor hid the Modules link, and you will need to talk to him/her.

Final cause might simply be that your term has not yet started, and so those courses are not yet available to you.
