Inactive enrolments
...
As of May 2023, when When students are unenrolled (via EduRec) from academic courses, they are considered inactive enrolments.
...
The inactive tag following their name is how Canvas displays it, and the students cannot be removed nor hidden from People.
...
inactive enrolmentsWe introduced this to prevent data loss associated with user removal and subsequent reinstatement. Instead of completely removing a student and their associated data from the course (as it was prior to May 2023), their enrolment status is changed to inactive.
Associated data includes the student’s participation in assignments, quizzes, discussions and groups, as well as any grades. This enables seamless and complete reactivation, if a user needs to be reinstated. |

| As of Jan 2025, all inactive enrolments are removed in Week 3 for a cleaner display. Any inactive enrolments that appear after this date indicate a student who has dropped the course. These inactive enrolments will be retained so that the associated data can be reinstated, if needed. |

Unintended effects of move to display student inactive enrolments:Instructors removed from a course (via CMIS) are listed also as inactive i.e. they will appear like student 1 in the inactive enrolments screenshot above. Previous sections for users (staff and students) are still displayed i.e. they will appear like student 2 in the inactive enrolments screenshot above. As of 22 May 2024, inactive sections are indicated with an Inactive text tag.
Do students see inactive users or sections?Students do not see inactive students, inactive instructors nor inactive sections. This can be verified by using Student View in People. |
