Hi Jenine,
It's difficult to say without being able to access your system, but it could be related to how term or course dates are set with your school's instance of Canvas, or it could be that the teacher has not published the course yet. Try clicking the Courses link on the left side of the web page and then click All Courses. See if it's listed there. If so, you should be able to see if it's published or not, and if it's in the upper Current section or perhaps a Future Enrollments section. If it's published and NOT in the Future enrollments section, try clicking the star to the left of the title to favorite it. That should add it to your dashboard.
