Finding your class in Canvas

Finding your class in Canvas

Your classes will appear on the Canvas dashboard on the first day of the term. If you do not see your class listed in Canvas there are several possibilities:

Did you register in the last 6 hours?

If you just registered for the class in MySeminoleState, you have not been added to the class in Canvas yet. This process can take up to 5 1/2 hours. For more information see  When should I expect to see my class in Canvas after I register?

Check to see if the class is available


Click on the Course  icon in the left navigation bar and click on All Courses .

Add the class to your Dashboard


If you see your class but the star is a blank outline, then click the star to turn it a solid yellow so the class appears on your Dashboard.

Not yet published 

 
If in the Published column, you see “No”, then your instructor has not made the class available yet.

Future Enrollments



If your class appears under Future Enrollments  then the course is not released yet. Classes automatically open the first day of the term or at the instructor’s discretion. Classes cannot be accessed prior to the start of the term.
