System Requirements & Supported Browsers
Canvas supports the current and first previous major releases of most web browsers. Please visit Canvas' browser and computer requirements page to ensure you have the minimum requirements for using WebCampus.
You may also download the Canvas Teacher app for Android and iOS devices.
Course Availability
Courses are typically available a few months before the start of a new semester. An announcement will be posted in WebCampus when new course shells will be available. Your access will also depend on whether you have been assigned to your courses in MyUNLV. Any changes to course assignments in MyUNLV will be reflected in WebCampus within 12-24 hours.
If a student receives an incomplete for one of your courses, you can
submit a service request to extend the student's access to the course(s).
Getting Started Resources
Adding A Syllabus to WebCampus
Use the WebCampus Syllabus tool to either copy content from a Word document directly into the Rich Content Editor or link to your Syllabus by uploading it into your Course Files. More information can be found in the Syllabus Canvas Guide.
If you are using Modules, you can also add your syllabus to one of your modules.
Adding a TA or Another Instructor to Your Course
Instructors can add additional users to their current WebCampus courses from the People tab in their course. Please submit a service request if you need to add users to a course from a previous semester.
Below is a list of more common roles used in WebCampus. A full description of all available course roles can be found in our WebCampus Add Users knowledge base article.
- Teacher/Instructor: Teachers/instructors will have full access to all areas of the course, including student grades and submissions.
- Teaching Assistant (TA): This is like11 Teacher/Instructor access to a course with the following exceptions: TAs are not able to add other users to a course, TAs are not able to review LockDown Browser videos when a webcam is required for a test, and courses are hidden from TAs 2 weeks after the semester ends.
- Designer: A designer can add/remove/edit content in the course but will not have access to student submissions nor edit/assign grades. Designers will have read only access to a course once the semester concludes.

Reusing Content (Course Copy)
Instructors can reuse content from a previous semester by copying materials from one course shell to another using the Import Content option in WebCampus. You must have access as an instructor to the course you are wanting to copy. If copying content from a previous semester, we recommend using the Select Specific Content and select everything except Announcements.
Instructions for copying a course:
- From the new course shell, click on Settings in the course menu.
- Click Import Course Content.
- For the Content Type, select Copy a Canvas Course.
- Search for your old course prefix, number and section and select the course you would like to copy.
- Choose Select specific content.
- Click Import.
- Click on Select content in the Current Jobs section.
- Check the boxes next to the content you want to copy and click on Select Content.
If the course you copied contains quizzes that required
LockDown Browser and a webcam, you must click on the LockDown Browser link in the new course’s menu to associate the course with the Respondus Monitor database.
Panopto videos are not copied as part of the Canvas course copy. Review the
Copying and Moving Panopto Videos guide for instructions on how to move/copy your videos to the new course.
