All drops are handled by Enrollment Services. Students are supposed to formally drop a course on their own. Once a student drops, Enrollment Services then will process that request. Enrollment Services completed the drop in ctcLink, which then puts them in inactive status in the course they dropped in Canvas. You can see what inactive status means here and student access. Students' names and history in the course need to stay in the course for up to 3 years legally. This process takes between 1-3 days. eLearning is not part of the drop process and does not need to be notified of any drops as this is an automatic process in Canvas once Enrollment Services completes its part. If you do not want to see inactive students in your grade book, you can edit your viewing list to exclude these sets of students.
