What happens to Canvas sites after a term ends?

Canvas courses change to a read-only state within a few weeks after the end of a term. Instructors and admins may adjust the end date in their course settings if they would like a course site to be open for more or less time. More information about adjusting the end date for a Canvas site can be found here.

After the term ends, past courses will no longer appear in your current course list or dashboard. Past courses are located in "All Courses" via the Courses tab in the main menu. More details are available here.

If you need to add someone to membership for a past Canvas site that has entered read-only mode, please contact canvas-support@mit.edu.
