A student is getting odd messages when trying to accept the original or re-sent invitations to join the course. If I 'remove' them from the course, can I then re-add them with a new invitation to see if that corrects the problem?
@GinaGenova Yep! There is no harm in manually adding, removing, and re-adding a user to a course. What is the odd message they are receiving?
The answer depends on whether your students are added manually or by your Student Information System. If it is the latter then you probably shouldn't (and your Canvas should be configured to prevent teachers from dosing so).
You need to get to the bottom of what the issue is - have you talked to your Canvas team/IT support?
If the student has not accepted the invitation they will normally show as 'pending' and you have the option to resend invitations.
If they still can't get in (or are not showing as pending) then there may be an anomaly around their ID or login that you need to get to the bottom of....
@PaulFynn If the student has an invitation (and re-sent invitations) to the course, then that would mean that they were manually invited, right? I could be wrong, but I don't. think that SIS enrollment feeds create an invitation, they just enroll the student.
I want to build a page with a sortable table—allowing the students to click on a table header in order to sort the entire table by that column alphabetically/numerically.

I teach middle school and my students have recently discovered the ability to play the "what-if" game with grades. They are now obsessed and are playing with it all the time. For the preservation of their sanity I would like to turn it off but don't want to hide their course grade. Is there a way to do so? PLEASE HELP by…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
