This article walks instructors through the process of making their course active (i.e., in Canvas-speak, publishing the course).


Steps

Official course sections in Brightspace will be inactive and unavailable to students by default.  Instructors can make their course active and available for students at any time by following the steps below:

  1. Log into Brightspace and navigate to the course you would like to make available
  2. From the course navigation bar, click Course Tools → Course Admin from the dropdown menu
  3. Click the Name button to organize the course tools alphabetically and select Course Offering Information
  4. Scroll down the screen, about halfway, and check the Course is active checkbox


If the Start Date field is checked, this does not mean the course will automatically be made available to students at this date and time.  Instructors must complete the above steps and check the ‘Course is Active’ option.  Once checked, the course will be made visible to students after the Start Date passes.
