How do I add a subject in a Canvas for Elementary account as an admin?
You can manually add subjects in a Canvas for Elementary account in the Courses page.
If a course template has been selected in your Canvas for Elementary account, content from the selected subject will be copied into your new subject. Course copies may not include all content. For more details, please view the course import lesson. Creating a subject from a course template does not impact file quotas.
Notes:
- Subjects added manually in Canvas are not linked back to SIS data and are not affected by SIS imports.
- To link a manually created subject with an SIS ID, edit the details for a course section.
- Subjects can also be added through SIS imports. Subjects added manually in Canvas are not linked back to any SIS data (though they could be by associating an SIS ID) and are not affected by SIS imports.
