Students' Ongoing Access to Course Canvas Site

As the semester comes to and end, instructors may take stock of the resources gathered in their course Canvas sites. Instructors may have collected more online resources for their students to use than they have in past, in-person semesters. (That certainly has been true in this blogger’s case!).

Would you like your students to continue to be able to access these resources? Good news! They can! Students will continue to have access to your course’s Canvas site, with the exception that they won’t be able to submit materials via Canvas. This is really a moot point since the course is no longer active and students do not any assignments to submit.


In the Settings tab on the course home page, make sure the Restrict students from viewing this course after end date box is not checked. (Thank you to Marlene Johnshoy for pointing out this step!)




Other than that, there is no specific action that instructors need to take to allow students continued access to the Canvas site. Students will be able to view the content on the site the same way they did all semester.
