Term dates that are set globally which help to manage user's "dashboard" and "all courses course lists" to show courses completed during a previous term under a "Past Enrollments" heading. Courses that are concluded by Term dates are still visible to all instructors and participants, but cannot be modified after the end date (Admins can intervene to undo this). Term dates can be overridden by course dates.

Academic Terms

Course dates are set at the individual course level through the course's "Settings" area. Course dates override term dates which allows instructors to give students access to participate in the course after the term date as past. To prevent students from being able to participate after the course end date, instructors will need to also select the option "Users can only participate in the course between these dates". Courses that are concluded by the course dates are still visible to all instructors and participants.

Courses can be concluded manually by clicking the "Conclude" button in a course's "Settings" area. Manually concluded courses are still visible to all participants, but cannot be modified (this can be undone by an administrator). Student enrollments are shifted to "Prior Enrollments" and will not appear within the People tool unless you opt to view prior enrollments.

Resetting a course deletes the course site and creates a brand new empty course shell for the course which only contains the user enrollments from the original site (this can be undone by an admin).

1. Admin will need to temporarily move course into an active term, change course end date, return course to correct term.
2. Students can see the course as long as the instructor has not selected the option to "Restrict students from viewing course after end date".
3. Students can participate in the course as long as the instructor has not selected the option "Users can only participate in the course between these dates".
4. Instructor or Admin can change the Course End date and/or the options from 2 & 3 above.
5. Admin will need to "Un-Conclude" course and then add back all of the users (instructors, TAs, & students).  Adding back the users will add back their assignment submissions.
6. Resetting a course deletes the original copy of the course and creates a brand new empty course site which keeps all enrollments.  The old site can be restored by an admin using the Canvas Course ID and by re-enrolling all users.
7. If original copy of course is restored, new copy should be deleted by an Admin.
