Estimated time of completion: 3 minutes
Instructions
Open Courses
In Global Navigation, click the Courses link [1], then click the All Courses link [2].
Favorite Courses
To favorite a course, click the star next to a course [1]. Filled stars show that the course is a favorite [2].
Notes:
- After you have manually favorited at least one course, Canvas automatically favorites any new published course enrollments for you.
- You can only favorite active courses.
View Unpublished Courses
If a course is unpublished and you are allowed to view unpublished courses before the course participation dates, you cannot favorite the course. If you hover over a star icon for an unpublished course, you can view a message indicating that the course cannot be added as a favorite.
You cannot favorite future and past enrollments.
View Past Enrollments
Depending on course configuration, you may still be able to view your concluded courses under the Past Enrollments heading [1]. However, a favorited course is not automatically removed as a favorite when the course concludes.
If a past enrollment course still shows as a favorite, you can unfavorite the course by clicking the star icon [2].
