The Canvas Dashboard is the first thing you will see when you login. The User Dashboard helps you see ALL your courses and allows you to figure out what to do next. When you first logged in, your dashboard probably looked similar to the image below:

Once your classes begin, you'll see the course cards in the main Dashboard area. As your teachers begin assigning things for you to do, you'll see those activities listed on the right side under To Do. When teachers return feedback or grades on activities, you'll see that listed on the right side under Recent Feedback.

You can return to your User Dashboard at any time by clicking the Dashboard icon in the left teal Canvas navigation. This navigation will always appear while you are in Canvas. If you ever get lost, just click Dashboard to return to this page.
