Canvas: Course creation and student enrollment date schedule

This article describes the course creation and student enrollment schedule in Canvas for USNH Institutions.

Instructions:

In Canvas, course shells are created 12 weeks in advance of the Spring and Summer semesters and 14 weeks in advance of the Fall semester. Students are added 2 weeks before the first day of classes. This does not mean students will be able to view the course 2 weeks prior, students can only view the course once the course is published. See below for publish dates and information.

When students enroll in a course, they're added to the Registrar’s database which then automatically adds the student to the Canvas course. Students who enroll after the course starts or during the winter shut down may not immediately see their course. UNH Faculty can either manually add the student to the course or submit a support request. For additional information about either option see below:

You may request your course creation or student enrollment to be done sooner than the schedule below by entering a support ticket using the link at the bottom of the article.

Note:  KSC courses are not automatically closed. Faculty have the option to close the course. If the Course Published field doesn't contain a date, it means the course is unpublished and is published at the instructors discretion.
