Inactive enrolments

...

As of May 2023, when students are unenrolled (via EduRec) from official academic courses, they are now considered inactive enrolments.

Inactive enrolments cannot access the course.

The inactive tag with following their name is how they are meant to appearCanvas displays it, and they the students cannot be removed nor hidden from the coursePeople.

This is helpful as you may need to access data regarding the inactive students' participation and grades.

Rationale for the change

...

We 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.
