DE instructors,
Canvas has just introduced a new feature that allows instructors to note the last day of attendance for students who drop DE courses. This is necessary for financial aid and auditing purposes. In your course, go to the People page, click on the three dots on the right side for a student, and select User Details.
This brings you to the student’s Profile page. Simply enter the date in the box under Last day attended. This should be done for students regardless of when they drop.
The last day of attendance is not the last day a student logged into your course; it’s the last day a student actively participated in class. For more information, read Federal Title IV and Last Day of Attendance.
