View student access expiration dates

Updated 17 Aug 2021

The roster show expiration dates for students whose course access duration is shorted than the full length of the course. Upon enrollment students might be offered:

  • Reduced-price access for a limited time, or
  • Temporary course access without payment for a limited time (typically 14 days). Students waiting for financial aid, for example, can start their coursework and avoid missing deadlines.

Expiration dates do not appear in the roster for students with full course access.

  1. Select Manage Course from the main menu, and then select Course Roster or in Mastering, Roles and Enrollment Status.

    (In some courses you select Course Roster under Course Tools.)

  2. To find a student in the Name column, type a few letters of the student's name or email address in the search field . (Select Show All to clear your search results.) You can also choose the first letter of the student’s last name in the alphabetical list.
  • The expiration date appears in red below the student's name, for example:

    Access expires on: Sep 20, 2023. (for reduced-price access)

    Temporary course access expires on: Dec 20, 2023. (for temporary access)

  • During a temporary access period, the student's role can't be changed to teaching assistant.
  • The expired date appears in red below the student's name, for example:

    Access expired on: Sep 20, 2023. (for reduced-price access)

    Temporary course access expired on: Dec 20, 2023. (for temporary access)

  • The student's entire row is disabled, preventing changes to the student’s role or status.
  • The student still sees your course in their course list but can't access your course content or their coursework.
  • Students are notified by email before their temporary access expires. The email includes a direct link to a payment page where students can change temporary access to full access.
  • Once students pay for full access, their status becomes active again and they get back access to their coursework.
  • Student instructions to upgrade from temporary to full access:
