Posted Class Not Showing On Dashboard

[TiffanyDoody]

I am registered for a class that was published 9-12-25. It isn't showing up on my dashboard, and when I go to all courses, it shows that it's published, but the course name is not showing as a hyperlink for me to open it. I did get an email from my instructor saying that the class was published and to move forward with the introductory assignment.

Hey @TiffanyDoody !

Does this course appear under your Future Enrollments on the All Courses page, or is it under your general 'All Courses' header on the All Courses page? Regardless, even if your teacher published the course, it doesn't mean it's actually accessible. It's certainly possible your instructor has course start and end dates or section start and end dates set and that they didn't set it to the correct dates. 

You won't be able to complete your introductory assignment until you're added to the course correctly.

Hi Noah! Thank you for the reply!

    It does show on future enrollments on the all courses page. The course itself isn't hyperlinked like the previous ones I had completed. The only thing that shows on my Dashboard homepage is the orientation course. I think I may need to wait until the first official day of class, which is Monday, so I think you're right. It's been published, but I just don't think we can access it yet.

Yep, that would be the reason. If you still can't access the course at anytime Monday, I'd recommend reaching back out to your instructor. 

If your school is using their own Canvas environment, your school's Canvas admin probably controls when the courses are officially accessible, and even if the teacher publishes the course, students still won't be able to access it. 

Best of luck to you!
