Canvas End-of-Semester Tasks

Below are steps to help you bring your course to a successful semester close. Please contact the Faculty Helpdesk at (940) 369-7394 or submit a support ticket with any questions.

 

Course Copies

As the semester draws to a close, you may want to place your Canvas course's contents into an upcoming semester's Canvas course. To perform this action in Canvas, follow course copy steps outlined on our FAQ's page.

Exporting Items from Canvas

Discussions

There is currently no function within Canvas for downloading Discussion posts and threads. However, you can go to a thread and either take a screenshot of your page or save your page view as a PDF for future reference. 

Messages

As with Discussions, there is currently no "button" for downloading inbox conversations from Canvas. Taking a screenshot of a thread or downloading the webpage as a PDF is always an option.

Entering Grades into MyUNT
