You can customize the courses you want to appear as Course Tiles on your Canvas User Dashboard. This will help you to stay organized by making sure that you have easy access to the courses that you need to access the most. You will always be able to access all of your courses that are open for student viewing by using the Courses Tab on the blue Global Navigation Bar.

To customize the list of courses that appear on your User Dashboard, click on the Courses link on the left-hand side [1], then select All Courses at the bottom of the menu [2].

Below is an image of the All Courses menu that will appear after you have clicked on the All Courses link. Click the Star icon [2] next to the courses that you wish to see in your Course drop-down menu. If the star by the course's name is not filled [1], then you can still access this course from the Courses link on the Global Navigation Bar, but it will not appear as a course tile on your dashboard.

Once you have made any changes, go back to your Dashboard. Your starred courses are the only courses that will now show on your homepage. If you ever wish to see your other courses, click on Courses and then All Courses.
