I have three students in a cross-listed set of courses, who are currently enrolled; however, they keep becoming inactive. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening and how to resolve the issue?
Hi @KARENGREENHAW,
I'm going to assume your school/institution is using a paid instance of Canvas and not the free-for-teacher one. I'm also going to assume your school/institution has enrollment info synced from your student information system (SIS) over to Canvas. If all that is accurate, it's likely that the student has been dropped out of the course in your SIS, and that is syncing over to Canvas. For my institution, this would mean that the student dropped the course or withdrew from the semester, but the exact causes could vary (especially in K12). I'd suggest asking someone in your registration area to validate that the student is in good standing and still enrolled in that particular course, and if not they can probably tell you exactly what happened and if it will be undone at some point or not.
Hope this info helps!

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…
