A course in Canvas will remain on the Dashboard for faculty and students while the term is active. All Rowan terms remain active for 90 days after the course end date.

1.  From the Left Navigation Panel, select Courses and All Courses:

You cannot delete your courses, but you can hide courses that you are not enrolled in for the current semester.
