In Global Navigation, click the Home link.

The Homeroom is your landing page in Canvas.

In the Homeroom tab [1], you can view your published [2] and unpublished course subjects [3].

To open a course subject, click the name of the subject [4].

To add a new subject, click the Start a New Subject icon [5].

To create a homeroom announcement, click the Add Announcement button [6].

In the sidebar, you can view assignments, graded discussions, quizzes, and calendar events that have been marked with an important date [7].

Note: By default, your published and unpublished subjects display in the Homeroom tab. However, if you have favorited subjects, only favorited subjects display.

In the Schedule tab [1], you can view an example of how schedule items will display for students.

Each item displays the subject name [2], item name [3], number of points (if points have been assigned) [4], and the due date [5].

Each item also displays an icon to differentiate between different assignment types and other items in the Schedule [6].

When an online assignment is submitted, the item is automatically marked as completed. Students can manually mark non-submission items as complete by clicking the item's checkbox [7].

In the Grades tab [1], you can open the gradebook for a specific subject by clicking the subject's View Gradebook button [2].  

In the Resources tab [1], you may view important information you have added to your homeroom [2]. To edit existing important information, click the Edit icon [3].

You can view any student applications that have been added to your homeroom in the Student Applications section [4].

You can also view staff contact information [5].

Notes:

• If content has not been added to Important Information, the Important Information section does not display.
• If student applications have not been added to the homeroom, the Student Applications section does not display.

In the To Do tab [1], you can view all items that require grading in Canvas. Items display by due date in ascending order.

Each item indicates how many items need to be graded [2], the assignment name [3], the course name [4], the number of points [5], and the due date for the assignment [6]. Some assignments may display multiple due dates.

To remove a To Do item, click the Remove icon [7].

Note: When an item is removed, the item can only be restored to the To Do tab if a new submission is received for that assignment.

To switch to the classic Canvas dashboard, click the Options icon [1] and select the Classic View option [2].
