Depending on how you want to create a program, you will have to set visibility and enrollment details for each course requirement. Learn how various visibility and enrollment statuses apply to course requirements in program listings.

  • You can add subcatalogs in Canvas Catalog by creating a new catalog. Your domain catalog links your account in Canvas with your catalog home page and is created for you as part of the catalog setup process. Subcatalogs are linked to your domain catalog and allow you to associate specific listings for a department, organization, or team. Subcatalogs can be customized with their own branding and settings.

    By default, subcatalog listings are shown in the parent catalog as well as the subcatalog's individual URL path. However, subcatalogs can also be made private, where subcatalog listings are not shown in the parent catalog.

    Once you have created a subcatalog, you can manage your catalogs at any time to add customization options.

    Note: You cannot delete a subcatalog once it has been created.

    How do I manage my catalogs?
