"How long will the Canvas site be visible to students?"

Two weeks after the class end date, the Canvas site is no longer visible to students. Make sure to notify students either on the home page of your course or the syllabus with the following:

"The Canvas course access ends two weeks after the semester ends. If you wish to keep any content from the Canvas site, make sure to save it before you no longer have access.
