Commons templates

The University has a basic course template hosted on Canvas Commons, titled “UoA Syllabus/Homepage and settings template”. If your faculty/department/area does not have its own Canvas course template, we recommend you use this template to automatically apply the University’s preferred settings, including the correct grading scheme.

Important: Import the template into Canvas before you add any content into your course.
