New Feature: Course Archiving
In order to improve the management of courses and the functionality of Canvas, Penn State has developed a process to archive completed courses.
NOTE: The suggested method for retaining course material for future use is to keep such material in a Master Course rather than depending on the archiving process. Please refer to Canvas: Request a Master Course (KB0011048) for instructions.
Due to the number of older courses in Canvas, the archiving process will be introduced in stages. This initial stage of archiving will involve LionPATH and ISIS courses taught during or previous to summer 2016 (LionPATH term 2165).
All LionPATH and ISIS courses taught during or previous to summer 2016 have been selected for archiving by default. LionPATH courses taught during fall 2016 or later (LionPATH term 2168) are not being archived at this time.
Initial archiving of selected courses will take place on Wednesday, September 25, 2019.
When a course is archived, it will no longer appear on your Canvas Dashboard or in your All Courses List. If you do not wish to have a particular course archived, you may temporarily delay this process with the new Course Archive Manager tool.
Please refer to the Penn State Knowledge Base articles for more information and specific instructions on how to use the Course Archive Manager tool. You may also use this tool to restore archived courses.
For a complete description, including schedules, timelines, and a description of what is archived and what is not archived, please refer to the full Canvas Archive Policy.
