Remove completed courses from Dashboard as Teacher

[acsiy]

I recently opened Canvas after a few months and saw all my completed courses (past enrollments) back in the Dashboard's active Published Courses area., whereas they were not displayed as such the last time I logged into Canvas.  They are not favorited (starred) and have all ended.  How do I remove these old courses from the Published Courses area in my Dashboard?  I am the course instructor.

Concluded courses can't be active until these courses were unconcluded manually by the instructor, or by changing course or term start and end dates by admins or by instructor if applicable.

Simply, conclude them again or go to Courses -> all courses and put star to what courses you would like to be only appear in the main dashboard.

note, make sure you have concluded all courses from the past enrollment. you don't want to keep them active for students from the last enrollment.

Hii,

You can try this: Go to your Dashboard in Canvas. Find the course you want to remove from the Published Courses area. Click on the three dots (ellipsis) next to the course name. Select "Unpublish" from the options menu. The course will be removed from the Published Courses area and will appear under "Unpublished Courses" on your Dashboard.

@FrancescaHancoc ...

However, as this linked Guide states, 

Once your course contains a graded submission, the course status will no longer display in the sidebar and you will no longer be able to unpublish your course.

So, @acsiy may not be able to unpublish courses as you've described.  The course cards on the Canvas Dashboard do have a three-dot icon in the top right corner, but there isn't an unpublish option...as far as I can tell.  There is an "Unfavorite" option within the "Move" tab, but that's not the same as unpublishing a course.

How do I view my favorite courses in the Card View... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

Hopefully this helps to clarify things for you.  Sing out if you have any questions...thanks!
