Observer/Parent Notifications

elainew

Parents are receiving notifications from courses that their students were in last year.  The term dates were set to end at the end of the school year.  How can I as an admin turn off these notifications?  Do I need to conclude the courses?  What happens to courses when they are concluded?  Thanks!

Hi  @elainew!.  

When a term, course, and/or section date has passed, the courses and/or sections are said to be concluded. This puts them  in a read-only (archived) state. Read-only means that the course is not available for submitting assignments, posting discussions, uploading files, grading, or any other action-based task within a course.

Additionally, notifications and messages are no longer active in concluded courses.

Individual users can also modify their personal notification settings by following "How do I manage my Canvas notifications?" guide.

Here is a wonderful resource for admins for you to consider: End of Year Guide for Canvas LMS

Have a great school year!
