Summary: This article demonstrates how to request a Canvas Course from Middleware 2.0. This course site has live enrollment updates.

Warning: Student enrollments will automatically populate in Canvas for courses created in the current term, and the next term. Example: if you request Fall courses during the Spring semester, you will not see enrollments until the Summer term starts.

Tip: If you have duals roles in Middleware such as Faculty and Coordinator, you can switch between roles using the three-dot menu in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
