How do I manage program requirements in Canvas Catalog?

In Canvas Catalog, programs are comprised of requirements that students must finish to complete the program. Requirements can be Catalog courses or other Catalog programs added as subprograms. As a Catalog admin, you can view current requirements within a program and add or delete requirements.

Each course listing in Catalog exists as a stand alone listing, even when it is associated with a program listing. Each requirement within the program has its own visibility and enrollment details. Learn how catalog requirements appear in program listings.

Notes: 

  • Catalog does not prevent you from adding a requirement to more than one program, but doing so is discouraged, and performance can not be guaranteed.
  • In a Catalog program, each course includes a series of module requirements that students must fulfill before they can move on to the next course in the program. These module requirements are set in the Canvas course. Learn more about course module requirements in Canvas.
