Roll Call Pending

[mverna]

Does entering a student as attending in Roll Call attendance, remove the "Pending" from the person's name in people?

Hi @mverna 

No, it does not.

The student needs to accept the course invitation.

Students will see the "Invitation" at the top of the Dashboard when they login, or they can follow this guide if they received an email invitation: How do I accept an email invitation to join a Canvas course as a student?

I hope this helps,

I have since learned there is another way for "Pending" to go away without ever accepting the invitation.

When the course end date passes, the pending will go away.

Is there anything that can remove the pending without the student actually entering the course site to accept it?

Can they just accept from their dashboard, without ever going into the course site itself?
