The Canvas Student Launch Kit includes ready-to-use resources you can share with your classes and students you support.

Use the materials as provided, customize them for your course, or choose only the pieces that are useful to you.

These resources are templates, not requirements. You’re welcome to use them exactly as written or adjust the course-specific pieces to fit how you communicate with your students.
