Students registered for your course or students you've made a signature override for will be automatically enrolled in your offering.

• Students with signature override who have not officially registered will be concluded at the end of the first two weeks of class.
• Students who un-enroll from the class will have their enrollment in the Canvas course concluded within 24 weekday hours.
• If you want to add students to your class who are not yet registered, please reference Add and manage students in Canvas using Sections below.

Concluded Student Enrollment by Term

For multi-term offerings using a single Canvas site for all terms, conclusion of student enrollment per term section occurs by Monday morning Week 1 of the following term.

For example:

• Fall enrollment is concluded Monday, Week 1, of Winter quarter.
• Winter enrollment is concluded Monday, Week 1, of Spring quarter, and so on.

Conclusion of an enrollment section means students:

• have read-only access to site content and course materials associated with the previous term(s)
• will no longer receive Canvas notifications related to the offering’s site activity (unless they are enrolled in a subsequent term)

• Where can I find concluded student enrollments for my course?

Sections are used to organize students for administrative and assessment purposes.

These are the default sections created for single and multi-term offerings:

• a section for each quarter for student enrollment
• a section titled Manually add students here (please use this section for adding students)
• a section for faculty members associated with the offering
• a seminar section per faculty per quarter

• How are courses and sections related?
• How do I add students to a section?

Conclusion of Canvas sites occurs following an offering's last term by Monday morning, Week 9, of the subsequent term.

For example:

• A Fall-Winter-Spring offering is concluded Monday, Week 9, of Summer quarter.
• A Fall-only offering concludes Monday, Week 9, of Winter quarter.

When the offering’s Canvas concludes, the site will no longer appear on your my.evergreen page or Canvas Dashboard but is still accessible:

• from your my.evergreen page, click on Canvas Home
• at your Canvas Dashboard, click on Courses at left (just under the Dashboard icon) and then All Courses to view courses listed under Past Enrollments

Faculty retain access to their offering's Canvas site, although:

• the People index is depopulated of students, the Gradebook and assessment are kept intact
• viewing student submissions via SpeedGrader is no longer available, student submissions can be downloaded via the Gradebook and individual Assignment pages

Students have read-only access to concluded Canvas sites.
