Tips for the Start of Fall Term
As Canvas experts, we have a way of knowing the answers to the questions you may have this term before you know you’ll need them. So, to help you prepare, we’ve created a list of our Canvas tips, dates, and processes that are most commonly asked as we embark on a new term.
Canvas Dates and Processes
Course shells are created 90 days prior to the course start date
Students are added to courses 14 days before the course start date
Students have access to their courses only after they are published & its start date has passed
Students lose access to their course on the last day of the term by default
Instructors can change the course start date to allow early access
Instructors can also change the course end date to extend access for ALL students
To extend course access for just one student, submit a request for an Incomplete resolution
Data and changes in myFSCJ are pushed to Canvas every 8-9 hours
Tips from the Canvas PROS!
Use Canvas for every course – even if only for the Grades & Syllabus
Access Canvas directly via canvas.fscj.edu using an updated browser!
Use Training Portal (within the Help menu)
As always, if you need more details or have additional questions throughout the term, please submit a ticket on our Technical Service Desk via help.fscj.edu, contact Canvas Support via the Help icon in Canvas, or email us at EdTech@fscj.edu.
Have a great term!
