Sections in Canvas are used to segment the users in a class. Examples of where Sections can support teaching are:

• Lab courses with multiple sections

• Teaching several sections of the same course/content at different times - the instructor can set up One Canvas Course that contains different due dates for each section.

• Students Completing an Incomplete can be easily handled, the instructor can go into the past Canvas Course the student was originally enrolled in and create a section so that only the student working in the course has access.

Enrollment Changes Alert

Students enrolled in manually created sections in Canvas will not be dropped from a course in Canvas even if they drop in PeopleSoft.

Contact the Boise State Help Desk / LTS to make students inactive after dropping if you are using manually created sectionsrequest the students be made “inactive” after dropping the course.
