If you have been inviting students to your course for an entire semester or school year, your roster and gradebook can become large over time. To help with this, you can adjust your roster as students come and go, using Conclude, Remove and De-Activate.

Remove From Course

If a student is accidentally enrolled in your course or otherwise has no grade data to be saved they can be safely removed using Remove From Course. Under the People section, click on the cogwheel to the right of the student name, then click Remove From Course.

De-activate User

This option is useful for removing students that transfer to another school. When they are de-activated they are removed from your course and your gradebook. They can no longer access the course through their Canvas account, as if they were never enrolled in the first place. Their grades and progress are retained in Canvas, and can be viewed if needed.

Conclude Enrollment

This options is useful to "graduate" a student from your class if they no longer need it during the middle of the semester. This option lets students still access your course to review content they have learned, but they no longer appear in your gradebook and they are no longer able to submit assignments or take quizzes.

*Note: All students are automatically concluded from your course at the end of each semester, so this does not need to be done manually for all students.

Students will now appear in your gradebook with either a Concluded or Inactive tag next to their name.
