Canvas Storage Time Length

[WendellDuncan]

I am wondering if anyone knows if Canvas has a time limit attached to their student user accounts, and if so, how long might they be.

I want to know how long after I graduate my data would still be available if I wanted to access it still.

Hi @WendellDuncan,

Instances of the Canvas LMS itself does not have a time limit for (a) user accounts, (b) courses, or (c) storage.

However, hypothetically, Canvas LMS administrators (in collaboration with administrators for other pieces of technology) could design a process to have a time limit or archive for them based on a retention policies.

In education, it is common to design some sort of process that disables inactive Canvas user accounts.

I would recommend that you ask your school's Canvas team or IT Department this question so that you can get a specific answer from them.

Is there anything else?
