I am wondering if anyone knows if Canvas has a time limit attached to their student user accounts, and if so, how long might they be.
I want to know how long after I graduate my data would still be available if I wanted to access it still.
Hi @WendellDuncan,
Instances of the Canvas LMS itself do not have a time limit for (a) user accounts, (b) courses, or (c) storage.
However, hypothetically, Canvas LMS administrators (in collaboration with administrators for other pieces of technology) could design a process to have a time limit or archive for them based on retention policies.
In education, it is common to design some sort of process that disables access to Canvas user accounts.
I would recommend that you ask your school's Canvas team or IT Department this question so that you can get a specific answer from them.
Is there anything else?

We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options.

To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…
Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
I am trying to use Learning Outcomes for my course which has many sections each term. We currently have no institutional, school or program outcomes. I created a set of outcomes for Section 1 of my course. I then labelled every question in the item banks I was using in my first quiz (New Quiz) of the semester. I got a nice…
I have been experimenting with NotebookLM for some professional and hobby interests and have discovered incredible insights from querying sources with the Gemini chatbox interface. For our ID work in Canvas, we need an AI-powered dashboard similar to NotebookLM where IDs and Directors can query about their assigned courses…
