Why is nothing showing up?

[mmoeller1]

None of my classes show up on my dashboard and the only tab that works in ANY of my classes is the "modules" tab. The rest are blank. I can't see calendar, announcements, etc. This needs to be fixed

Hello,  @mmoeller1  and  Welcome to the Canvas Community! We've had a few reports of this and in each case it has turned out to be an issue with an unsupported/incompatible browser. Please try these troubleshooting steps:

• Check your device compatibility: What are the basic computer specifications for Canvas?
• Check your browser compatibility: Which browsers does Canvas support?  (Note that Internet Explorer 11 is not a supported browser, and if you're using IE11, you should have been automatically redirected to a page providing additional instructions.)
• Try a different browser. The latest version of Chrome works great in both Windows and MacOS. If Chrome is giving you issues, switch to the latest version of Firefox.

If none of these methods solve the problem, contact Canvas Support. General instructions are in How do I get help with Canvas as a student? but your school's support setup might vary somewhat, in which case ask your local IT Department for additional troubleshooting assistance.

Make sure that you Star the course in All Courses. If nothing is starred, then nothing will show on the dashboard. 

If you're the teacher, you have to go to Settings and in the navigation, you can then add items that show on the left side of the course.
