Info

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.

    • This is a great way to manage an Accessibility Accommodation where students require early access to course content.

  • 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.

...

  • The standard “Teacher” role does not allow for Section Creation.

  • Fill out the Section Teacher Request Form to request a small permission change that will then allow you to create Sections.

  • While we are often able to get back to you quicker, we do ask that you allow for 24 business hours for this role adjustment to be completed.
