Retaining Canvas Student History for Dropped Students

Environment

Canvas

Issue

Instructor would like to access Canvas submissions and grade history for dropped students

Resolution

The Registrar’s Office policy on this issue is:

• Students who drop BEFORE the drop/add period will be removed from the Canvas course site
  • You would not have direct access to the student history, but the student’s information could be retrieved if there was some special circumstance. Such requests would be referred to the U-M User Advocate for review. User Advocate Office: https://safecomputing.umich.edu/protect-the-u/protect-your-unit/services/user-advocate
• Students who withdraw AFTER drop/add period will be made inactive and you would still be able to access that student’s submissions and grading history.
  • Canvas has the following documentation for reference: How do I view grades for inactive or concluded student enrollments in the Gradebook?
