In Canvas, your old course sites will disappear from your dashboard and your current courses list after the exam period has finished. At that point, courses move to "past enrollments" in order to keep your course list organized and to prevent confusion.
To access an old course:
- Log in to Canvas.
- Click the Courses tab on the garnet global navigation menu on the left of the screen.
- Click the All Courses link from the menu that appears.
- On the All Courses page, scroll down to Past Enrollments. From here, you can access a previous course by clicking on its hyper-linked course name.
You and your students will be prevented from making changes to the course when it is categorized under Past Enrollments. Additionally, after grades have been submitted, students will no longer be able to view course materials such as syllabi or readings. Though old course sites cannot be edited, instructors' ability to copy content from old courses into new course sites is not impacted by this read-only status. You can still import content from your "past enrollment" sites into your new sites.
Instructors
If there is anything that you have problems accessing, or if you want someone to have access to your old course site, please email us at edtech@mtholyoke.edu and we can re-enable full editing access to your old site and/or enroll the requested user into it.
Students
If you need access to course materials in order to submit incomplete work, please request permission from your instructor to access old course content. If your instructor approves your request, then they will need to email us at edtech@mtholyoke.edu to have your access restored.
