Canvas: Enroll Incomplete Students

Tags Canvas

Instructors who would like to grant students with an official incomplete prolonged access to a Canvas course can submit an online help request with the following information:

  1. The student's name and NetID (not Student ID).
  2. The Canvas course name/number (preferably, the course name as it displays in Canvas) in which the student was originally registered.
  3. An End Date for course access.
    • The Office of the University Registrar allows a full year after the final day of class for an incomplete to be replaced with a grade, but many instructors require that Incompletes be completed sooner). Incomplete sections cannot be created without a valid End Date.
    • The End Date can be changed later, should the student need more time as long as it's within the year after the final day of the class with the incomplete.

Please note that students cannot be added to a Canvas course that they were not officially registered for. Instructors can find further information about student incompletes and Canvas access: Managing Student Incompletes in Canvas.
