Catalog users (including users of Canvas Network) can drop courses or programs from the Catalog dashboard. You can only drop a course while it is in progress, which means the course is between the course start date and end date. Catalog users can also drop programs as well.

Courses can only be dropped if you enrolled in the course through Catalog. If you were manually added to the course by an instructor, you will have to ask the instructor to remove you from the course.

The beta environment allows you to explore new features in Catalog without affecting your production environment. If you want to keep up on the latest beta features in Catalog, visit the Release Notes page in the Canvas Community.

The beta environment is overwritten with data from the production environment every Monday. Any work or content you add to your beta environment will be overwritten every week. Any changes you want to keep in the beta environment must be made directly within the production environment before beta is reset.

If you are a student, you can view your grades in the Canvas app.

Grades can also be viewed as a Course Navigation link. However, the Course Navigation menu matches the browser version of your Canvas course. If you are a student and Grades is not available in Course Navigation, it will also be hidden from view in the app.

If your course is using Multiple Grading Periods, the Grades page shows assignments and grades within the current grading period. If your course is not using Multiple Grading Periods, the Grades page shows all assignments and grades for the entire course. If the Dashboard does not show a total grade, there are no active grading periods in your course.

The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.

Note: Currently observers cannot view student grades in the app.
