[ARCHIVED] Can you give individual students different end dates for the same course?

[sunki240]

I have a course that run all year around, but I'd like to give access to students for different time periods. How do you set a limited access period for individual students instead of setting a start and end date for the course?

Hi  @placidpaws_dt  Welcome to the Canvas Community.

Great question!

Your course term dates will be the same for all students.

However, they do not need to know that. You can assign work to students with different dates. Perhaps that is all you need. 

• How do I assign an assignment to an individual student?
• How do I assign an assignment to a course section?
• How do I assign an assignment to a course group?

This might also be helpful What is the difference between assignment due dates and availability dates?

And this How do term dates, course dates, and section dates work in Canvas?  

To override the term dates, select the Students can only participate in the course between these dates checkbox [2]. This checkbox ensures that students can only participate in the course between the specified dates. Outside these dates, the course is in a read-only state for students and observers.

Sing out if you need a hand.
