Canvas: Understand When Academic Course Sites are Available for the Upcoming Semester

Each semester, empty academic course sites are automatically generated for all active PeopleSoft sections for every course. These sites appear on the Canvas dashboard of the instructors and teaching assistants (TA's) assigned in PeopleSoft to teach those courses. Instructors can build course content from scratch or import content from existing course sites.

Auto-generated course sites are unpublished. Instructors will need to scroll to the bottom of their Dashboard to find these course sites. If you cannot find your site in Canvas, verify with your department PeopleSoft scheduler that you are listed as a primary instructor for the course.

Students will not be able to see the course sites until it is published.

Canvas course sites are auto-generated and enrollment auto-updated on the following schedule every year. When a date falls on a weekend or holiday, the change will be made the following business day.

  • Fall terms: April 15-Dec 31
