Create a Nickname for your Canvas Course 

quicktip 15

FGCU Canvas courses are created using Banner (SIS) information, and this generates courses with similar names that may be hard to distinguish. You can personalize how a course appears on your dashboard by using nicknames that make long or similar course titles easier to work with. 

Want to add nicknames to your Canvas courses? Go to the Canvas Instructor Guide and scroll down to the section “Create Nickname”.
