Canvas FAQ: My course is in the Published area on Canvas… but can my students see it?

The Course Availability Setting is originally set from Middleware 2.0, the place where you request your Canvas Course Site.

The Availability options are:

  • Start of Term - This setting will create the Canvas Course Site in a “Published” state initially,  but is not available to students until the first day of the term. 

  • Date - This setting will create the Canvas Course Site in a “Published” state but the course will not be available to students until the date selected.

Pro Tip! Even if you choose Start of Term or Date in Middleware - you can still use the Settings in Canvas to Manually Make a Canvas Course Available to Students

  • Unavailable - This setting will create the Canvas Course site in an “Unpublished” state.  When you are ready to make the course available to students you will need to “Publish” the course from the course home page and uncheck the “Restrict students from viewing course before term start date” check box on the course settings page

  • Available to Students - This setting will create the Canvas Course site in a “Published” state. The course will be immediately available to enrolled students.
