How do I add a section to a course as an instructor? | Canvas

Overview

You can add a section to your course by editing your course Settings in Canvas. Sections help subdivide students within a course and offer section-specific options such as varied due dates for assignments, discussions, and quizzes. Sections also display for each student within the course People page and the Gradebook.

You can also create sections for students who need extra time in a course, such as a student who has an incomplete grade.

Notes:

Sections are added by your institution's student information system (SIS), in this case, Synergy.
Some course sections may have already been created for you.

In Course Navigation, click the Settings link.
Click the Sections tab.
Enter the name of the new section in the Add a New Section field [1]. Click the Add Sectionbutton [2].
View the section in your course.
- If needed, you can change section start and end dates.
- You can add additional sections if necessary. Multiple sections are ordered alphabetically.
- Note: If a section was previously added via SIS, and you have permission to view SIS IDs, the section's SIS ID also displays in the Course Sections page.
Once you have added sections to your course, you can add users to sections from the People page in your course.
