Which rooms are deleted?
Course rooms where the semester ended at least five years ago are automatically deleted.
If your course is held over multiple semesters, the five years are determined by the course's final semester. For example if your course started autumn 2020 and ended spring 2021, the Canvas room will be deleted after spring 2026.
Which rooms will NOT be deleted?
- Course rooms where the final semester is less than five years ago
- Rooms for cohorts (kull in Norwegian), study programs, study disciplines, etc.
Many rooms in Canvas are for cohorts, study programs or other types of rooms that are active over a longer period of time. The timing of deleting such rooms can therefore vary greatly.
What does this mean for you as a student?
If there are room materials that you want to have access to, then you must download this before the room is deleted. Assignments that you have submitted can be accessed in your personal files in Canvas.
Room materials that the teachers have added to the room will not be saved before room deletion, and UiO does not have a backup of materials in deleted rooms.
You will not be notified before your rooms are deleted.
