The Dashboard displays course cards for all your favorite active courses. Course Cards can help you organize your courses by adding a nickname or customizing the color, which is synced with the color shown for the course in the Calendar.
The Card View Dashboard also includes the Dashboard sidebar, which has items in your To-Do list and includes a link to the global Grades page. You can change your Dashboard view at any time using the Dashboard Options icon. Favorited courses are removed from the Dashboard when the course is concluded. Concluded courses that were previously favorited are still shown as favorited in the Courses list.
The Calendar is a great way to view everything you have to do for all your courses in one place. You can view calendar events by day, week, month, or agenda list.ย

The Grades page in a course displays all current grades for all course assignments. You can also view scoring details, comments, and rubrics. If your teacher is using multiple grading periods, you can also filter grades by grading period. In some cases, your teacher might not be utilizing the Canvas Gradebook. In that case, your grades will most likely be viewable in HAC.ย
