Canvas Updates

The people tab in Canvas now has two new roles:

Auditor: Students registered as auditors will be added to Canvas automatically in the Auditor role. They will have the same permissions as students.
Prospective Student: Shopping students will be enrolled automatically as Prospective Students. This visual change will make it easier for faculty to differentiate between the registered students and shoppers during shopping period.
