Accessing archived Canvas courses

In Canvas, all courses are automatically set to concluded and converted to a read-only archival state following the end of term. At UBC, Canvas’s end-of-term date is set to eight weeks after the last day of class. All Winter 2017/18 Term 2 courses were marked as concluded and automatically archived at 11:59 PM on May 31, 2018.

Once a course has been concluded in Canvas, it becomes read-only for instructors and can’t be accessed by students. You can view your concluded courses by navigating to your list of Past Enrollments on the All Courses page in Canvas (Courses -> All Courses -> Past Enrollments).

If you’ll be teaching the same course in a future semester, you can copy the concluded course into a new course shell by following these steps. If you need to make changes to an archived course (e.g., to edit a grade), please contact your Instructional Support Unit or the Learning Technology Hub and they will be able to change the end-of-term date for your course.

If you have any questions, please contact the Learning Technology Hub.
