Canvas: Editing Course Names
Course names for all semester-based courses in Canvas are generated by Access Stout. Instructors have the ability to edit their course names in Canvas to make it easier to find/select the correct course. Note: Instructors should not edit/change their course codes.
It's recommended that instructors add the semester and course section to the beginning of the course name. For example, the original course name for BIO 101-001 is "Introductory Biology" and by adding the semester and course section, the edited course name would be "FA19-001 Introductory Biology".
Follow these instructions to edit a course name in Canvas:
- Open the course you want to edit the course name in and click Settings from the course navigation bar:
- From the Course Details tab, click in the Name field, and you'll be able to edit the name of your course. **Note: Do not edit/change the course code.
- Click Update Course Details to save your changes.
