Ability to add an enrollment to a concluded course via API

[stran1]

Currently, we are using enrolment API as per the link below https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/enrollments.html

If it is a concluded course, we get a message ": "Can't add an enrollment to a concluded course."

However, we can import student to a concluded unit via SIS import.

We would like the ability to add an enrollment to a concluded course via API

We are also running into this issue and there doesn't seem to be any simple way to deal with it.  Anything that looks like "temporarily change the course end date" is a fragile workaround, made more complicated by the fact that concluded courses may not have their own end date and use the term end date instead.  So, big 👍 for this idea.

@jcalz and/or @stran1 did you ever find a solution for this? We are migrating data from a bespoke LMS and used the API to get the users over, while manually copying courses.  Unfortunately it doesn't seem like I can even use SIS import to get users into a concluded course because the users weren't imported that way (so referencing the real Canvas user id doesn't work for the SIS import).

thank you

@chrisrockwell , we use API to create account and SIS import to enroll students and instructor to concluded courses.
