[ARCHIVED] Course is published, but not available on the Dashboard

[billelagarde]

Good day!

Some of the courses that are still published are not visible anymore on the teachers' dashboard. The end dates are open and the courses are published.

What would be the workaround for this? Thanks!

Hi @billelagarde and welcome to the Canvas Community.

Perhaps they could check in the 'Courses' button on the left hand global navigation menu, then scroll down to 'All Courses'. All courses will appear there, colour in the star to the left of the course titles they want to see on their dashboard. The course in question might have been unstarred. 

I hope this helps.

Sing out if you need a hand.

3 years later and I have this issue which was solved by starring the course but then every single course disappeared from my dashboard and I had to star them all before they re-appeared. Previously all published and unpublished courses were showing up. Only 1 just disappeared from view which was the one I starred to get back. This course was published and active, no end date so why did it disappear from the Dashboard in the first place? I have no idea.

Hello @PeterJanuarius ...

Per these Guide (which are essentially the same with the exception of the role):

• How do I customize my Courses list as an instructor?
• How do I customize my Courses list as a student?

...if you do not have any courses starred on the "All Courses" page, then up to 20 courses will be displayed on your Canvas Dashboard.  Once you star one or more courses, that is/are the only course(s) that will show up on your Canvas Dashboard.  Unstarred courses will no longer appear on the Dashboard.  The light blue box at the top of these Guides details this information.

Hi Chris,

thanks for your reply. That makes sense. I must've reached 20 courses which sounds about right.

Hello Bobby! Thanks for the reply!

Unfortunately, the teacher cannot see the course even he/she navigates to "All Courses".

I have checked if the course is active and published, and it is. The person is also added there.
