Is there a way to change the displayed course name as a student enrolled in the class?

I have multiple courses that have the same exact name (like both are called HBIO 302 but one is the lab section and one is the lecture section) and I would like to be able to change their names so that I can differentiate them easier (In that example, changing one to HBIO 302 Lab). Is this possible? How do I do it? Thanks!!

Hello - As a Student, you likely do not have permission to do that. It is possible that your instructor also might not have permission to do that. I would suggest that you contact the LMS support team at USC to see if they can assist.

I am immensely interested in this! I have used Canvas as a student before, and being able to give my courses a “nickname” in the landing page and the quick links to the class homepage (just for my view, not to change it for the class as a whole) is very helpful.

I’m running into the same issue as Emmett. The course names are unhelpful at best, and very confusing at worst. I could ask the instructor to change it, but I assume they have a required naming convention they are supposed to use.

It seems simple, but it might be a complicated feature. Any progress on that would be appreciated!
