Once an ICON course site is created, instructors can edit and design their ICON site to suit the needs of their course. Every ICON course site has a default appearance and settings that can be modified once an instructor has access to the course site.

Course Status

By default, an ICON course site will remain unpublished until an instructor decides that a course is ready to be viewed by students. An instructor should only publish their course when they're ready for students to view it. Visit the Canvas website for more information about an Unpublished and Published course.
