Instructions

3 Ways to Manage Course Availability Dates in Canvas:

Course Availability Dates are first set when an instructor Requests their Canvas Course Site from Middleware.

Unavailable	The course will receive no availability dates, and will be created automatically set as Unavailable to users. The instructor will manually need to make the course available to students.
Available to Students	The course will receive no availability dates, and will be created automatically set as Available to users. The instructor will manually need to make the course unavailable to students if no end-dates are applied to the Canvas course.
Start of Term	The course date will be set to automatically become available on the first day of the semester and unavailable 1 week after the semester ends. The instructor does not need to do anything to make the course available other than be aware of when these date’s occur in case students have questions.
Start of Session	The course date will be set to automatically become available on the first day of the session and unavailable 1 week after the session ends. The instructor does not need to do anything to make the course available other than be aware of when these date’s occur in case students have questions.
Date	This will automatically make the course available on a specific date set by the Instructor. No end-date will be applied, this can be applied in Canvas or the course can be made manually unavailable by the instructor.
