[Course Settings] Extending Course Access

[ChrisMedina]

Problem statement:

Students do not always complete the course during the set term dates. Many schools have different policies on letting students finish a course past the term date. there is no easy way for this to happen in canvas. I have faculty create a new section called incomplete etc. and they have to enter the dates then add the student to that new section. this may have limitations for other schools due to their permissions. the admin may have to do it for every single student etc.

Proposed solution:

a solution would be for Instructure to make it possible for faculty to select a student and give them access to participate in the course past the end date of the term. a simple click of a button would make this process easier.

User role(s):

admin,instructor

Thanks for your submission! Based on what's being asked here, I've identified a theme that I think this would fit well with. It's called Expand support for student-driven learning in Canvas. I've associated this idea to the theme.
