Canvas / Allow a student to take the final exam in a closed course

Objective

To provide instruction on extending a closed course to allow a student extra time to take the final exam

Canvas course sites automatically close at the end of each term. You must extend the end-date of the course and the section to allow a student to take an exam

If the course is closed (it is after the last day of the term), it will need to be reopened by a Canvas Admin. Please follow these steps:
- Please send an email request to miamionline@miamioh.edu or submit a TDX ticket to Miami Online to request the course be reopened by a Canvas Admin
- Please provide:
  - the course
  - section
  - term
  - name of the student(s) requiring an extension
  - last date student users should have access to the course
- Once reopened, a Canvas Admin will update you and the exam will need to be re-assigned to the students
- Please re-assign the exam and if needed, Moderate the Quiz to allow extra attempts
If the course is open (before the last day of the term), follow the steps in these Canvas Guide articles:
- This Canvas Instructor Guide article tells you how to change the start and end dates for a course
- And this Canvas Instructor Guide article tells you how to edit a section to adjust section end dates to match the course dates
Your student can now complete their work, and you can adjust grades
When finished, be sure to set the course end-date back to the end of term
