IT Express Service Desk can help with any questions related to Canvas

How to use Photo Rosters, where you can view photos, major and standing of students whom are enrolled in your courses, see who is on the waitlist, and review prerequisite petitions. A prerequisite petition is a request to remain enrolled in your course if the required prerequisites have not been met. This link also includes instructional videos for faculty.

For all students enrolled in your course each quarter, please review the column for Prerequisite(s) after Pass 1 Registration, and after Pass 2 Registration periods.

– If it states “Passed” then the student has completed the required prerequisite to enroll in the course.

– If it states “conditional”, then the student may be currently enrolled in a course which satisfies the prerequisite.

-If the column does not have anything and two dashes (–), then you will need to review the prerequisite petition, and determine whether or not to allow the student to stay enrolled in the course. Please contact the department advisors I you have any questions about approving or denying prerequisite petitions.
