How do I change a course name and course code? | Canvas

Overview

If you have permission from your admin, you can change your course name and course code in your course Settings in Canvas. The course code is a short name for the course and is displayed at the top of the Course Navigation menu and in course cards in the dashboard.

Please be advised:

Course names and codes may be generated by your institution's student information system (SIS). If these fields are not editable, you cannot change the course name or code.
The course code is also known as the reference code or short name.

In Course Navigation, click the Settings link.
Click the Course Details tab.
Edit the course name and code by typing in the name [1] and course code [2] fields. Both fields have a 255-character limit.
Click the Update Couse Details button.
Your changes will be reflected in the course details.
