Canvas@Illinois, Temporarily extend course access to student(s)
Occasionally there will be a need to extend student access to a Canvas course outside of course or term availability dates. This can be done for one or more individual students, rather than the course's entire roster.
To work with the Canvas team to extend course access for a limited amount of students, instructors should send an email to consult@illinois.edu and include the following information:
- A statement requesting temporary Canvas course extension
- Course name or course ID
- NetID of at least one instructor in the course (as the requester)
- NetID of any student that requires extended access
- Length of course extension in days/weeks, or a date that the extension should end
Canvas@Illinois Operations will create a new section in the course and apply the necessary date changes to it, moving the student's enrollment(s) to the new section to continue their access.
NOTE: Following this change to the course, section-specific assignments may need to be updated as well as assignment due dates.
Students should consult with their instructor(s) when requesting a course extension. The instructor must be the one to initiate this request.
