On 05/25/2021, the University of Wisconsin System Digital Learning Environment (DLE) team uninstalled its custom "Extend Student Access" tool from campus Canvas subaccounts and re-installed it at the top level of the DLE's Instructional instance of Canvas. The Extend Student Access tool should now be available to Teachers from all University of Wisconsin System institutions (except for UW Madison) in any Instructional course they're teaching, not just in SIS-based courses.

The Extend Student Access tool is not available on the DLE's Training and Development or Continuing Education instances. 

For more information on how instructors can use the Extend Student Access tool to grant student incompletes in Canvas, see the Canvas - Extend Student Access tool guide.
