    The Dashboard is the first thing you will see when you log into Canvas. You can return to your Dashboard at any time by clicking the Dashboard link in the left-hand navigation menu.


    Open Dashboard

    If you are not already at the Dashboard, open the Dashboard by clicking the Dashboard link:

    Open Dashboard


    View Dashboard

    Your Dashboard will look something like this:

    View Dashboard

    The Dashboard is your landing page in Canvas. There are three views available:

    • Card View: displays course cards for quick access to your courses. (This is the RECOMMENDED view.)
    • List View: displays all course to-do items in an agenda view
    • Recent Activity View: displays all recent activity for your courses


    Set Your Dashboard View

    To set your Dashboard view, click the Options menu (three dots) and select your preferred option. To navigate most easily, we recommend CARD VIEW.
