I often have students who want to review finished courses and look for resources we used in class, or that were mentioned in discussion forums. How long will they have access to the Canvas course once the term ends?

  The default settings is for a course to become read-only after a term ends. That is to say students can still access materials, but cannot interact with assignments, quizzes and discussions. I have noticed that some people have been either intentionally or unintentionally enabling a feature that completely revokes access after the term ends, but that is not the default behavior.

  Thank you Cristian - that's all they need is read access. Will the read only course access remain available for a set period of time? I think we had the expectation of one year in iLearn.

  Cristian,

  I have a student that has to finish a course after the end of the semester (they received an I for the course).  Is there any way to reopen a class for them to be able to interact with activities/ assignments?

  Thank you!

  Bradley Bowser: we can do that on request to at@sfsu.edu. We need to know which class, specifically, and we can reopen it.
