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Additionally, notifications and messages are no longer active in concluded courses.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!
Thank you all for your help. I'm going to forward the Parent Notification settings to parent's who contact us. Then I will double check the course settings and terms. Thanks again!

I have now had a few cases of students' responses in New Quizzes not being recorded. Normally, students get a connection error and can restart, but here they get new questions one at a time with no indication of a problem until they try to submit the exam and find that they can't submit it. Students are losing 20-90% of…
We assign coursework by section, and teachers enter the transfer grades on each assignment from before the student’s enrollment date. However, those grades do not satisfy the modules’ “Submit the assignment” requirements. Students still have to go back to the beginning of the school year and submit blank documents and…
A Discussion assignment needs to be able to have more than 2 due dates. A discussion is just that--a back and forth. To be an effective kind of assignment, Instructure needs to modify them so they can have 3 or more due dates. Students also need to be notified when someone posts within their group. Currently, students turn…
This is incredibly frustrating. I use a rubric with imported outcomes to grade my assignments. Each problem is mapped to an outcome, scored on a scale with 4 tiers (the upper 2 tiers granting mastery). For a few of my students—not all—grading a new assignment deletes their earned mastery on an earlier, unrelated…
