  2. Select Courses from the left-hand menu.
  3. Select All Courses at the bottom of the Courses menu.
    All Courses Menu
  4. You should see all of the courses that you are enrolled in listed under All Courses. To the left of each course, you will see a star. If the star is filled in with color, it appears on your Canvas Dashboard. If the star is not filled in with color, it does not appear on your Dashboard. Click on the star to fill it or un-fill it with color. 
  5. After you have selected the star to add the course to your Canvas Dashboard, return to the Dashboard using the left-hand menu.
