Why is there an Exception Process?
Students who are added to a Canvas site who have not yet registered have been confused into thinking their registration is complete. In order to provide a more predictable and understandable process for students, the Academic Division has chosen to implement an LMS exception process.
The Standard/College Enrollment Practice
The Academic Division has determined that students should only have access to resources once they have registered for an offering. Once a student's registration has been completed they will be auto-enrolled into the curricular Canvas site associated with that offering. Students not registered will not be able to access any part of the Canvas site for the offering.
