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Additionally, notifications and messages are no longer active in concluded courses.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

Is there a reasonably straightforward way to get a list of all missing assignments for a given student in the current term across all of their classes rather than within a single class? It's simple to do it within a given class by going to the table in Course Analytics and sorting by assignment status, but it would be…
It would be great to see the averages or any statistical information on the total columns in Canvas. As it is, we can only see averages after opening up the speed graded for individual assignments. Or that is all that I have found so far. I know we can download a CSV file but those are not interactive and kept up to date…
Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones. Específicamente, al intentar modificar una pregunta y eliminar una de sus opciones de respuesta, el sistema no permite ejecutar dicha acción. Con el fin de descartar…
Is there a way for me to create a rubric that shows BOTH points and a letter grade, while the Gradebook in both my view and student view shows JUST points? I tried setting up the rubric showing a letter grade in the grading scheme, and a letter shows in the Assessment box…but then my gradebook also shows the letter grade,…
