Canvas Dashboard

The Dashboard is the first thing you will see when you log in to Canvas. The Dashboard will display information from ALL of your courses. Review the numbered items below.

1. Global Navigation – In the global navigation there are links for Account, Dashboard, Courses, Inbox, Help and Calendar. The inbox contains private messages sent to you from the instructor and other students in your enrolled courses. The global navigation remains static and is available at all times in Canvas.  
2. Help – Click the Help link to access Canvas Guides, the 黑料社 Help Desk, my黑料社, Multimedia Resources, Help with Zoom Web Conferencing, and Ask Your Instructor a Question.
3. Enrolled Courses – Courses you are enrolled in will display in the main part of your Dashboard. Each course card can include up to four tabs at the bottom, which represent the four main Canvas features for student course activity: Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, and Files. These tabs mimic the visibility and order in each course's Course Navigation menu, so for instance, if an instructor hides the Announcements link, the Announcements tab will not display on the course card.
4. To Do List - The To Do List will display assignments that are coming due. Items in the To Do list can be dismissed by clicking the gray X next to each item.
5. Instructor Feedback - Any assignment with recent feedback will display on in the right sidebar. Click to view feedback on the submission details page.
6. View Grades - View overall course grades in the Dashboard. This button is available to students and displays grades for courses being taken. 

Canvas Global Navigation

The Global Navigation Menu is located on the left side of every page in Canvas. Global Navigation links provide quick access to the frequently used Canvas features:

1. Account Icon - When you click on the Account Icon a menu will expand and display links to access your user settings, profile, notification settings, personal files, and Portfolium. You can also use the Account Icon to log out of Canvas.

3. Courses Icon - To view your courses, click the Courses Icon. The Courses menu displays your list of favorite courses, or, if you haven't selected any favorite courses, the menu displays current courses where you are enrolled. If a course includes term dates, the name of the term will appear as part of the course listing.
4. Groups Icon - You can view your groups using the Groups Icon. A menu will expand and display all groups in current courses where you are enrolled.  The Groups Icon will only appear on your Global Navigation Menu if you are enrolled in a Group.
5. Calendar Icon - To view your canvas Calendar, click on the Calendar Icon. The Calendar is a great way to view everything you have to do for all your courses in one place. You can view calendar events by day, week, month, or agenda list.
