What if my modules are incorrect on Canvas?

Your modules are updated automatically from your Student Record.  If your module is missing in Canvas, check your Student Record to make sure you are registered on the module. If your Student Record is incorrect, please contact the Ask Herts service.

If you have a module listed on your Student Record that is missing from Canvas, please allow two working days for a link to appear.  If a link is still missing, this is usually for one of two reasons:

• The module is a Semester B module and we have not yet created a website for it. Don't worry. We create Semester B modules nearer the start of Semester B. 
• The other common reason is your module might be what is known as a 'linked module'. This is where the module runs under several different module codes on different programmes of study, but timetabled together. Often the Module Leader will decide to link the modules together and teach you as one cohort. If you see a module with a similar title that is not on your Student Record, it most likely a linked module. Check the module's homepage where your tutor will hopefullu have identify all the modules using the website.
