New Student - Missing Work

Question

I have a new student who was added to my roster at the end of Q2.  Everything assigned to class prior to her enrollment defaults to missing.  For Q2, I can go back and edit those to excused.  Is there a way I can go in and do that for Q1 -- when I try is says that quarter is locked.  Therefore when I pull a missing work report everything assigned to her from Q1 is on it.

Hi @KatherineMedlin,

I would suggest reaching out to your local Canvas Administrator, usually in the IT / eLearning / Digital Education area(s).  As an admin, their access will likely get around the quarter locking.  I don't think there is a way to unlock a quarter just for you or a single class to do it yourself, so my guess is they'll want to take care of it for you.

Hope this helps a bit, even though it's not quite a "do it yourself" answer.
