To unlock a Canvas course after the term has ended:
- Navigate to the course you want to unlock, and from the course navigation menu, select Settings .
- After the page automatically refreshes, your course will be unlocked, and the course end date will be set to one month from the current date. If you're satisfied with this end date, you don't need to take further action.
- If you want the course to remain open for a longer or shorter period of time, in the "Ends:" field, revise the course end date, and then click Update Course Details to save your changes.
You should now be able to make changes throughout your course. The course will now appear above the "Past Enrollments" heading on your personal "All Courses" page.
To relock a course you have previously unlocked:
- Navigate to the course you want to lock, and from the course navigation menu, select Settings .
- After the page automatically refreshes, your course will be locked and the course end date will be blank.
The course will now appear under the "Past Enrollments" heading on your personal "All Courses" page.

- In the course navigation, click Assignments , then click on the name of the assignment.
- Under Assign to , choose the section you wish to lock the assignment for. You can also leave it as Everyone .
- Under Available From , enter the earliest date students can access the assignment.

Appendix: Group assignments
The following diagram provides an example to describe the structure of group assignments. It also shows the correspondence between the fields of an assignment override API request and the resources they map to.
The components in yellow are group sets . When creating or updating an assignment override, you will refer to the group set by the group_category_id field.
The components in green are groups . An assignment can become a group assignment iff it has a group_category_id that maps to an active group set, as well as a group_id that maps to an active, valid group. In the API, you will be specifying the group by the group_id field of the assignment_override construct.
Important : an assignment must be assigned to a group set (the group_category_id field) on creation for an override with a group_id to be effective.
