Indicating a Course Type in Settings

[ashley_hardesty]

I'd like to know how others are indicating when a course in Canvas is either a "Core" course, or an "Elective" course.

I was hoping to locate a field in the course settings that would indicate the "Type" or "Category" of the course, similar to the Course Format drop-down field.

Hi @ashley_hardesty,

I do not have a specific answer for you because my institution does not populate/configure course settings except for dates.

Have you considered populating public_description using the Canvas API for courses?
