At Boise State University we do not recommend faculty Conclude their courses.
Manually concluding, or “hard concluding”, a course results in loss of user access and functionality for all user roles.
To preserve user access and information, and course functionality for instructors, consider “soft concluding” a course using course end dates.
What happens when a Canvas Course is Concluded?
When a course is completed and you want to provide read-only access to the course, you may be able to conclude the course manually in Canvas.
When courses are manually concluded, all enrollments are removed from the course and placed in the prior enrollments page.
All users in the course will have read-only access. This change applies to all enrollments, including course instructors.
Instructor-based roles will no longer have the same access in the course and will result in loss of course functionality and user information, such as viewing SIS data.
What can I do instead of Concluding a Canvas Course?
If full functionality is still required for instructors but you want to conclude the course for students, learn how to change the end date of your course instead.
What if I accidentally Conclude my course in Canvas?
Contact the Boise State Help Desk and they can create a Help Ticket to request this be reversed. To expedite the request, be sure to include the Canvas SIS ID for course
