How do I designate a subject as a homeroom course as an instructor?
This lesson applies to users at institutions that have enabled the Canvas for Elementary user interface.
It is recommended that every teacher have a dedicated homeroom. Once a subject is designated as the homeroom course, functionality is limited to items needed to manage content on the dashboard.
Open Subject
In Global Navigation, click the Subjects link [1]. Then select the name of the subject you'd like to designate as the homeroom course [2].
If the subject does not display on the Subjects list, you can view all of your subjects by clicking the All Subjects link [3].
If you do not have a subject that you'd like to designate as the homeroom course, you can create a subject from the homeroom.
Manage Subject
Click the Manage Subject button.
Open Settings
In Subject Navigation, click the Settings link.
Enable Setting
To designate the subject as the homeroom course, click the Enable as homeroom course checkbox [1].
Notes:
- If the Enable as homeroom course checkbox does not display in Subject Settings, the Canvas for Elementary feature has not been enabled for your institution.
- When the Enable as homeroom course option is selected, you cannot enable Course Pacing [2].
