If you see the course on the "All Courses" list, but it's greyed out, that means that the instructor has not published the course in Canvas, so it is not accessible to students until they have published it. Unpublished courses cannot be favorited or shown on the dashboard for students.

The Canvas course site is not yet published by the instructor. A course site isn't visible to students until the instructor manually publishes the Canvas site. If the semester/term has already started and you are definitely registered for the course, contact your instructor and ask them to publish the course.Aug 24, 2021
