Hi. I accidentally concluded a course in Canvas. How can I retrieve it? I can find the course under Past Enrollment. How do I get it back under the course homepage?
Hi @DilrubaMoutusi,
I believe a Canvas admin would have to unconclude the course for you, according to the How do I unconclude a course in an account? - Instructure Community - 189 guide. You can contact your school/institution Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education area) to see if they'll unconclude for you. If you happen to be using the free-for-teacher Canvas instance, unconcluding might not be possible as there are really no regular admins around in that instance.
Hope this info helps!

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…

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…
