I’m new on Canvas

So I’m new on Canvas. How do I create a class? How do I add students?

Hi @Hunni_BeeMHA 

Are you using the Free-for-Teachers (FFT) version of Canvas, or are you using a Canvas account provided by your school? This makes a difference, because if you are using a school account, the school will add your class shells and your enrollments.

If you are using the FFT version, then these guides will help:

• How do I start a new course from the Dashboard?
• How do I add users to a course?

As a newbie, I would get familiar with the Canvas Instructor Guide, and this video might also be useful Setup your Canvas course in 30 minutes or less. The Getting Started with Canvas as an Instructor flowchart might also be useful

I hope this helps,
