This article demonstrates how to request a Canvas Course from Middleware 2.0. This course site has live enrollment updates.

Student enrollments will automatically populate in Canvas for courses created in the current term, and the next term. Example: if you request Fall courses during the Spring semester, you will not see enrollments until the Summer term starts.
