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?

With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
