When students and instructors can access courses in Canvas
On this page:
Course availability
In Canvas, instructors can access course sites as soon as they are provisioned by UITS. Students are added to official course sites at the same time as instructors, but cannot access the course site nor receive course communications from the instructor until the course is published. Course provisioning dates vary from year to year, but they generally follow the schedule below. See Canvas and CQDM Provisioning Schedule for the current provisioning calendar.
| Term | Provisioning date |
|---|---|
| Fall semester | Mid-June |
| Fall quarter | Late July |
| Winter quarter | Mid-October |
| Spring semester | Early November |
| Spring quarter | Late January |
| Summer semester | Early April |
| Summer quarter | Late April |
After the end date for the term has passed, courses associated with the term become read-only for enrolled students, and instructors can no longer add or remove members using the People tool. Instructors can re-open past courses at any time; see below.
Override term start and end dates
Instructors can extend, reduce, or remove access to a course before the term starts or after it ends by overriding term start and end dates with course start and end dates. To do so:
- Active course (that is, a course listed above the "Past Enrollments" heading on your "All Courses" page): See How do I change the start and end dates for a course?
- Inactive course (that is, a course listed under the "Past Enrollments" heading on your "All Courses" page): See Unlock or relock your Canvas course after the term ends.
To learn how to perform common tasks in Canvas, consult the Canvas Guides.
