Quick Tips: Updating Your Syllabus in Canvas

Many of you probably had a syllabus uploaded into Canvas before the semester date changes were announced.  It’s quick and easy to replace that syllabus with a new one. To do so:

Pop back into the syllabus page, click the Syllabus button in the upper left, and then click Edit.

Once you do that, there is an option to Replace.

Be sure to communicate to students that you have changed the syllabus — it is easy for students to download the syllabus and some may not think to go back into the Canvas location and check for changes.
