My instructor added me to a group but the semester is now over and I no longer want to group showing up on my dashboard. How do I remove it?
Hi @SarahClark47 ...
You would either need to ask your instructor to remove you from those groups, or ask your school's Canvas administrator to remove you from those groups. However, there may be reasons why you need to be kept in those groups...even after the semester has concluded. That would be a decision up to your instructor/school, however. Hopefully you'll be able to get in touch with your instructor soon about this. Good luck to you!
Hi @SarahClark47 ,On top of what @Chris_Hofer said about you still being in those groups for a good reason, once your school concludes a course, or concludes/deletes your enrollment from those courses, you will automatically be removed from the groups.Some schools have it set up where certain canvas courses are still available after the semester/school year ends for a specific period of time before all enrollments within that course are concluded.If they are student groups, and you freely joined those groups, you can leave those groups. To do this, open the course, select the 'People' link (if it is enabled by your instructor), click 'Groups' at the top of the page, then click the leave button. If you were manually added by your teacher or another user, you are unable to do that.
Hope that helps out a little too, but I think Chris covered everything.Noah

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
