Terms create a default set of start and end dates that apply to any course added to that term. Terms can be added manually or created through SIS imports. Once a user is added to a course, terms set default dates for when users have access to courses assigned to that term. Access relates to user participation in published courses.
Canvas always includes a default term, which cannot be removed or renamed.
