Hi @CindiFeldman
It’s been a while since we’ve heard from you. We hope you are doing well and that you’ve found an answer to your question!
The Community Team acknowledges that this thread does not have a proper answer. However, we are marking this post as a temporary solution to help Community Members find and respond to the newest and most active threads.
This may be a question to ask your local school's Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas), as the setup for courses, access, dates, and similar things is all configured by them and can be very different from school to school (making it very hard for us in the community to offer good advice on).
At any time, any Community member can click the “Not the Solution” option and then respond in-thread with your follow-up questions. It’s important to include @CommunityForums in that reply so we can restore the entire topic to our list of unanswered questions we check routinely.
