In Short

During the first two weeks of each semester, students will be able to access most Canvas course sites without being enrolled in the class. Once Add/Drop has ended, the courses will be closed for all non-enrolled students.

Step-by-step

To access a Canvas course during the Add/Drop period:

Click the Courses icon in the Global Navigation Menu.
Click the All Courses link.
Click the Browse More Courses button.
In the search field, enter the subject code or name of the course you are interested in.

Browse Courses

Please note: If you cannot find the course you are looking for, it might not be published yet. Faculty might also have opted out of making their course site open for non-enrolled students during Add/Drop.
