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?

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…
In the "How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook" page, under "Student scores" (https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/660932-how-do-i-use-the-learning-mastery-gradebook-to-view-outcome-results-in-a-course#view-student-scores), the displayed gradebook shows a little colorful square and also points for each…
