- How can I hide my "inactive" students. Those who were no-shows will not require a grade like those who drop after the deadline so I can't see any reason to have them on the people list. Any ideas? (I did a search for this question but it was answered about a year and a half ago so....)
Hello Donna King...
The only way that I am aware of to not have your students show up on the "People" tab of your course is to remove them. However, your school may have policies in place that do not allow you to add/remove students on your own, so you would need to check with a local Canvas admin at your school to see if that is an option available to you. In addition, your school may have some policies in place or reasons why they are setting students as "Inactive" compared to fully removed from the course, but that would probably be a question for them as well.
There is one little trick that you could use that is built-in to Canvas...and that is using the drop-down filters at the top of the "People" page. You could select just the "Students" or just the "Teachers", for example. Yet, that wouldn't completely remove someone from the course who is no longer participating in your course.
I hope this is helpful, Donna.
