Allow Students to Finish Incomplete

When a semester concludes in Canvas, students are unable to return and submit future work. You can bypass this restriction for students who received an incomplete by completing the Manual Student Enrollment Form (go to odl.fsu.edu/canvasenroll when prompted to log in, make sure to use your [email protected] email address).

Once your request is processed, you will be able to adjust some settings so that your course appears as "active" to students who are still finishing it (learn more about how user enrollments and course access work in Canvas).

Alternatively, you can enroll them in the current or upcoming semester's course so you don't have to fight the old due dates.

Step 1: Complete the Manual Student Enrollment Form

We will create a new individual section in your course site for students who need to finish an incomplete in your course once you complete the form above.

Note: When accessing the Manual Student Enrollment Form, you will be prompted to log in. To access the form, you must use your [email protected] email address as your login username.

Once we have created this new section, you will then need to set new availability settings and due dates for the course content that the student needs to complete.

Step 2: Set New Availability Settings and Due Dates

Note: You do not need to complete this step if you choose to enroll the student in the current or upcoming semester's course.

  1. Select Edit for the assignment the student needs to complete.

    Note: If your student has multiple assignments left to complete, you can visit Canvas's guide on bulk updating due dates and availability dates.
  2. Select +Add.
    Add button on the Edit Assignment interface.
  3. Enter the name of the new section that we created for you in the same area where you entered the dates for the assignment.
    Add 'Incompletes' to the Assign to box in the Edit Assignment settings.

  4. Click the Save button at the bottom of the page.
