To remove a Canvas course from your dashboard, you need to unfavorite it in your course list. This action controls which courses appear prominently when you log in.
Understanding Dashboard Visibility
Your Canvas dashboard typically displays courses you have favorited. By default, new courses might be favorited, or you may favorite them manually. To declutter your dashboard and focus on current or relevant courses, you can hide others by removing them from your favorites list.
Steps to Remove a Course from Your Dashboard
Based on the reference, the process involves accessing your full course list and unfavoriting the desired course. Follow these simple steps:
- Navigate to Your Course List: In Canvas, look for the Courses link in the global navigation menu (usually on the left side). Click this link.
- Access All Courses: From the dropdown menu that appears after clicking Courses, select the All Courses link. This will take you to a page listing all courses you are enrolled in, both current and past.
- Unfavorite the Course: On the "All Courses" page, you will see a list of your courses. Each course will have a star icon next to it. A filled or colored star indicates that the course is favorited and will appear on your dashboard. To remove a course from your dashboard, simply click on the star next to its name.
- Confirm Unfavoriting: Clicking the star will remove the fill or color, indicating it is no longer a favorite. This means the course will no longer appear on your main dashboard view.
| Action | Result on Dashboard |
|---|---|
| Star is filled/colored | Course appears |
| Star is empty/outline | Course does not appear |
By following these steps, you effectively customize which courses are visible on your dashboard, making it easier to manage your current workload. Removing the star does not unenroll you from the course; it merely changes its visibility on the dashboard.
