Once the student removes the course, their enrollment in the Canvas course will be automatically removed within 2 hours.
When the academic term ends, all courses shift to a read-only state. Once the course is in this state, enrollments cannot be added or removed from the site.
Because official enrollments are created outside of and then synched down to Canvas, official enrollments cannot be modified or removed directly from Canvas. Any modification to official enrollments must be made in the system where the enrollment originated.
Official Canvas enrollments populated by a student's schedule/worksheet can only be removed by that student dropping the course from their schedule/worksheet.
Once you delete a course, the course will be completely removed from your institution's account and will not be viewable by you, prior students, or the account administrator.
Deleting a course is a course permission for manually created courses only. If the Permanently Delete this Course button does not appear in Course Settings and your course was not generated through a student information system (SIS), this setting has been restricted for your course. If you are an instructor, contact your admin for assistance.
Administrators can restore deleted courses if they know the Course ID number. You can locate your Course ID number at the end of your course URL (i.e. canvas.instructure.com/courses/XXXXXX).
Courses are not deleted from an account unless done so by you or another user at your institution.
Log into Canvas and select " Course Reserves " from the navigation pane on the left side of the webpage.
The "Course Reserves" link in Canvas is the gateway to all materials on reserve.
Yale University Library can provide access to course readings by utilizing the Course Reserves service through Canvas. Items can be placed on Physical Reserve within the library (books, DVDs, etc.), or scans of library materials can be placed online for ease of access (eReserve). If the library does not already have the materials needed for a course reserve request, we can try to purchase them for the library’s collection or faculty can bring in their own copy to place on Reserve. Students can access Reserves materials any time the library is open or 24/7 via eReserve.
Not all NetID users are added to Canvas by default (examples are volunteers, past alumni, sponsored identities, vendors, contractors, etc.).

Project sites on Classes*v2 will remain available for use during the first year of transition to Canvas, while we focus on moving course sites from Classes*v2 to Canvas.

Canvas has successfully supported Yale’s distance and hybrid course offerings since 2014, yet it is a challenge for students and instructors to use Classes*v2 for some courses and Canvas for others. A fall 2015 pilot of Canvas showed a significant majority of instructors and students would prefer to use Canvas over Classes*v2 (Sakai). The University has decided to converge on a single platform for all of our courses. In making this decision, we’re following the lead of many of our peers who have recently adopted Canvas as their campus learning management system: this list includes many of our former partners in the Sakai open-source community, such as Stanford, Michigan, and Indiana.
Yes: starting in fall 2016, Canvas will provide the same photo roster tool that faculty have been using in Classes*v2.
