Canvas End-of-Term Course Conclude Dates

Canvas is set to automatically “conclude” courses at the end of each term in order to make the system most effective for instructors and students. Concluding a course means that users in the course will have read-only access to the course. For students, all Spring 2017 courses are set to conclude on May 17. For instructors, courses will conclude on May 31.

• Faculty wanting to keep a course open longer can do so by manually changing their course end date, which will override the default May 17 course end date. Learn more: http://guides.instructure.com/m/4152/l/57088-how-do-i-change-the-start-and-end-dates-for-my-course
• Instructors can also keep a course open for individual students (for purposes of finishing an incomplete, etc.) by manually creating a new course section (and section end date) populated only with the individual student(s) who need access.
