Why Can’t I Access My Courses?
You cannot access your courses on the Canvas site if your teacher has not allowed students to access them. You cannot view a newly published course on your dashboard except the time your teacher permits.
Thus, even as it is true that all course materials and resources are in a course on the first-day students are not allowed access to all of the course materials and resources on the first day. Also, the UTA Canvas requirements and prerequisites including other Canvas Modules allow for the staff to control the flow of students through a course.
