Finish an Incomplete- Adding a Student to a Canvas Course
If a student needs to be added to a course to finish an Incomplete but keeps being removed from the course without explanation there is a solution.
Typically, students who need to finish an Incomplete can just be added as a student to the next semester’s offering by the instructor. However, in some cases the student registers for the class, not realizing until afterward that they need to drop it since it’s for an Incomplete and therefore don’t need to pay for the class again. Because of this, the student will continue being removed from the course by the data feeds.
For the student to remain in the course, we have to manually create a new section and add the student to that section to ‘hide’ them from the system’s data feeds.
To complete this step, instructors need to reach out to nusupport@nebraska.edu to create a ticket requesting support for adding a student who needs to finish an Incomplete.
