My CANVAS dashboard is too cluttered and I can't find all of my classes.

To solve this problem, make sure your Canvas dashboard is arranged in CARD view and not in LIST view.  List view only shows you items on your to-do list for the day and does not include all of your classes in an easy to access way.  You can watch a brief instructional video on making the change HERE.

By setting up your Canvas dashboard for CARD view, you can treat your Canvas dashboard like the hallways at school - where the dashboard itself is the hallway, and the cards for each class are the rooms you need to enter during your class time.

My CANVAS dashboard still doesn't show all of my classes, even in CARD view.

Make sure all of your classes (courses) are highlighted with yellow stars, by clicking on courses and then highlighting the classes (courses) you are currently enrolled in.  If you still do not see all of the courses, click on "all courses" and then highlight classes (courses) from your list.  If you would like, use this VIDEO to troubleshoot your problem.
