I am trying to unenroll myself from the courses I no longer need to be in. However, I cannot unenroll myself! Neither the teacher nor the ID/Designer role allows me to remove myself from a course. I have to contact the administrator for each course I want to be removed from and that is not feasible and time-saving at all. Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks,
Are you a student or a teacher? I ask because you reference the teacher and designer rolls, which would not normally be options for students. Either way, this may be something that you will need to talk to your tech department about, or even whomever manages Canvas for your institution. Canvas course enrollment might be tied to another service and automatically done. For example, we have an SIS system that is synced to Canvas. When someone is added/removed from a class, the system will handle enrollment (usually have to wait until the next day). If your institution uses a system like this and you are still enrolled in the course within that system, any attempt to unenroll in Canvas would be overridden. Since this forum is primarily comprised of community members, we would not have access to your institution's system or Canvas instance to look closer. Your tech department or Canvas administrator would be better equipped to handle this issue. Whether you are a student or teacher might impact who would be the person to reach out to (general tech support or a specific person). Best I can suggest is having them look into why it won't let you unenroll. Maybe someone else with more experience on that side might have another solution (I am more on the instructor side of the system).Now, if they cannot figure out what is going on, that would mean they should talk with their Canvas CMS or put in a support ticket for Canvas techs to look into. But that would be better after seeing if someone at your institution might have the ability to look into is going on. I know this is not as time-saving as you would desire, but this likely could be in place to help mitigate issues that arise from someone accidentally unenrolling.
I am trying to be removed from a "forever" course. I have not worked at the school in 4 years and every time I log into Canvas I reveive a huge global announcement. I have contacted Canvas multiple times and they tell me that they are unable to remove me. I have contacted the support admin for that school and they tell me they put in a ticket, but it still has not been resolved. It is very frustrating and something that needs to updated.

Hi everyone, We use Canvas to share study material (videos, PDFs, reading material) and quizzes with doctors enrolled in our courses. Our usual workflow is to add the doctor to the course, wait for them to accept the invitation, and then assign them the required quizzes. I’m having a problem with one student. I added her…
Searching through 'All Pages' can be cumbersome, especially as the year goes on. Is there going to be a folders feature added so that pages can be sorted and categorized, similar to how documents and images can fall under different umbrellas?
For those of you who use the Learning Mastery Gradebook in your courses, what are your thoughts about the updates? Do they improve your understanding of students' outcome mastery? What about the interface? The old version certainly needed some improvements. I did like the pie charts, however. Hovering the mouse pointer…

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…
