If you have students who are in need of extended time for assignments and quizzes in your course (beyond the scheduled Term end date), there are 2 ways to provide this accommodation.

Method 1 - Provide SELECTED Students Extended Access *Recommended

To provide selected students extended access in your course, create a new Section and give it a title such as "Extended Access." Click here to find out how to create a new section in your course.
Click on People and find the student(s) requiring extended access. Click on the gear on the far right of their row, click "Edit Sections," and select the section "Extended Access." Click here to find out how to add/change student sections in your course.
If a quiz or assignment is locked using due dates or access until dates, you will need to edit each assignment or quiz and add an additional Due Date for the Extended Access section.

Adjust the term settings in your course to provide extended access by clicking on Settings in the Course Menu, enter a new date in the "Ends" box, check the box next to "Users can only participate in the course between these dates," and click Update Course Details. Check out the Canvas Guides for more information.

Method 2 - Provide ALL Students Extended Access

Adjust the term settings in your course to provide extended access by clicking on Settings in the Course Menu, enter a new date in the "Ends" box, check the box next to "Users can only participate in the course between these dates," and click Update Course Details. Check out the Canvas Guides for more information.
ALL students will be able to access the course, and any contents (i.e. submitting quizzes and assignments), until the new end date.
It is NOT recommended to extend these dates beyond the start date of Second Semester courses, January 5, 2015, to prevent student course listings from being overpopulated with additional courses.
If a student will continue in your course next Semester it is recommended to copy any relevant content into the Second Semester course (typically identified by an "S" in the course name from Skyward). This will ensure all updates to rosters are applied correctly and your Semester 2 course reflects current enrollments.
IF YOU CONTINUE TO OPERATE IN A FIRST SEMESTER COURSE BY MANUALLY EXTENDING THE TERM NO NEW STUDENT ENROLLMENTS WILL OCCUR. These enrollments are tied to a unique course identifier between Skyward and Canvas.
