Canvas at Penn

Penn's Source for Courseware Innovation & News

Fall 2024 Virtual Course Shopping Period in Canvas

What is it?

Penn has developed a virtual shopping period in Canvas so that students can “visit” different courses as they finalize their course selections. This feature will be available starting on the first day of classes through the last day to add a class during the Fall and Spring semesters. In Fall 2024 Course Shopping will run from Tuesday August 27th through Tuesday September 10th .

Students will be able to access the visible courses through Path@Penn via a link available on the course listing.  When students are visiting a course’s Canvas site, it is not the same as being registered for the course.  Students accessing a course through this process will not appear on the Canvas course roster and they will not be able to participate in the course discussions or submit assignments. Students who access a course’s Canvas site while not enrolled in the course will need to ask the instructor for permission to attend any class sessions.

The default visibility setting for Canvas course sites is “Course” so that only enrolled students have access. During the virtual shopping period, the visibility setting will be changed to “Institution”. After the virtual shopping period, visibility settings will be reverted back to “Course”.

Read more about which courses the shopping period applies to, how students can access them, and how instructors can opt out for their courses on the Course Shopping page.

New Student Orientation for the Class of 2028

A roster of events ranging from a primer on penn traditions to dinner and dancing at the philadelphia museum of art to walking tours and introductions prepares students for life on campus..

The Class of 2028 students kicked off their first year by getting to know each other—and the Penn campus—at New Student Orientation (NSO) Aug. 21-26. The program is a series of events to help students acclimate to their new life at Penn, with special events for transfer, international, and first-generation and/or limited-income students .

Hallmark events included the traditional all-access evening at the Philadelphia Museum of Art with tours, dinner, and dancing; a masquerade dessert reception for second-year students at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts , the New Student Resource Fair for graduate and undergraduate students, walking tours of Philadelphia, the President and Provost’s Family Welcome , Penn Traditions: Highball to Hey Day , and the Class of 2028 photo on Franklin Field . New Student Orientation will then culminate with Convocation.

On Thursday, Aug. 22, the members of the Class of 2028 gathered in the Palestra for a welcome session, introduction to Penn resources, and the new Building the Penn Community event, a series of reflections with returning students, staff, and faculty on creating community, countering hate, and growing through differences.

“The students had a palpable sense of energy and excitement, seeing their entire class together in the historic Palestra , a building likely to already be familiar to many basketball fans,” says David Fox , who directs NSO and serves as a lecturer in theater arts.

The day culminated with another new event at the National Constitution Center , where students got a grand view of Independence Hall and historic Philadelphia. “Getting to know the city is an important part of being at Penn,” Fox says.

The National Constitution Center has embraced the themes of speech and discussion , which underscores the programming of this year’s NSO and is perfect for an election year, Fox says. “You’re going to meet people you agree with; you’re going to meet people you disagree with. But it’s important to treat everyone with respect. The Constitution Center puts that in historical framework.”

Several other events were new this year, including a culture festival with campus cultural resource centers as well as the Intercultural Greek Council and Getting Ready to Dialogue , a special Zoom workshop led by Interim President J. Larry Jameson on the findings and recommendations of the University Task Force on Antisemitism and the Presidential Commission on Countering Hate and Building Community.
