How to Give a Student Access to a Course that has ended in Canvas

Have you ever had a student who needed just a few more days in a course that has already ended? Whether it’s a dynamically dated course, a retake for an exam, or resolving a technical issue, Canvas handles this differently than D2L.

In D2L, you may have used a "student add-it" function to re-enroll a student, but in Canvas, the process involves assigning the student to an Incomplete section—without necessarily giving them an official incomplete grade.

Step By Step

1. Navigate to the "People" Tab
   
2. Locate the Student
   • Click the three ellipses (…) next to their name.

     
     

3. Select Edit Sections.
   
   
4. Choose the Incomplete section from the available options.
   
   
   
   
   • Click Update to confirm.
5. To undo the process, follow the same steps but click the x next to Incomplete.
