When you have an account with multiple Canvas courses, you can customize the active courses you want to show in your Canvas Dashboard by creating a favorite list in your Courses/All Courses. When no courses are favorited (the default setting), the courses list automatically displays up to 20 courses alphabetically in the Dashboard.

To create a favorite list of the courses you want displayed on your Canvas Dashboard follow these steps:

1. Click Courses on the left main menu of your Canvas page.
2. Click All Courses. You may have to scroll down to see this if you have a lot of courses displayed.
3. In All Courses, click the star icon to the left of each course you want to display in your Dashboard.
4. The star will turn red, indicating the course has been added to your favorites list.
5. When you return to your Dashboard, your starred courses are the ones that appear.
