Remove "New" Activity from an Unstarred Course from Last Semester

[czmAvery]

I am the type to obsessively clear notifications. Unfortunately I have noticed that, as a student, I don't always have control of whether I am able to do that or not. 

Last semester I took a course with a borderline senile professor that did not know how to operate Canvas. I'm sure he did his best, but we inevitably ended up with some oddities like the problem I am facing now. There is one (or maybe two) of his assignments that he never posted the score for, but I still got a notification of activity on the assignments at the time I turned them in.

No amount of clicking on the assignments from the Dashboard, from the course itself, or from the grades panel is fixing my issue. I ultimately chose at the end of last semester to ignore the notification in hopes that it would disappear as a new semester started and I deselected the course from my list of active courses. But alas, I am still plagued with this notification. 

Included are the screenshots of my "New" Activity message and the two offending assignments (though I have clicked through all four of the grouped assignments, which have somehow merged all of my assignments from all of my classes into one). 

Please tell me there is a way to remove this notification without having to go through the professor. I have one more year of school left and I genuinely do not know how I will cope with a constant notification lying to me, claiming that I have activity to be cleared when I don't.

You should be able to disable notifications for that specific course by following the instructions here:  How do I manage notifications for a single course? - Instructure Community - 615325

Hey @czmAvery ,

In addition to what @Gabriel33 said, if you're no longer in need of having access to the class, have you considered requesting to be concluded / removed from the course? Of course, every institution has their own policies with that, so it would be best to see how they'd go about that, but it's just a suggestion!

Be well,
Noah

Hi @czmAvery,

Depending on the policies at your institution, when you reach out to your institution's Canvas team, they might be willing to make a change to the course to clear the activity.
