Class Recording Permissions (For Students)

1. Log into Canvas.
2. Select the course you are viewing Class Recording Permissions for.
3. Tap/click Class Recording Permissions. 
4. For a course that has enabled student requests with Class Recording Permissions, you will see the following: 
   • Select either the View Requests button from this screen to view any current permission requests or the New Request button to submit a new request.
   Alternatively, you may see a different screen and selection of buttons with one of the following messages, which will determine whether you can view and submit video requests:
   • No Access to Recordings
     • Class recordings are not being made available for this course. Please contact your instructor if you have an accommodation or need to review a class recording.
   • All Access to Recordings
     • Class recordings are available to everyone in the course without submitting permission requests. Please visit the Class Recordings tab to view session recordings as they are made available.
   • Restricted Access to Recordings
     • Class recordings are being made available only with a valid accommodation or need. Please contact your instructor if you have an accommodation or need to review a class recording, and visit the Class Recordings tab to view session recordings as they are made available.
     • You can still view any existing class recording permissions set by your professor by clicking the View Requests button. 

1. Log into Canvas.
2. Select the course you are viewing Class Recording Permissions for.
3. Tap/click Class Recording Permissions.  
4. Tap/click the View Requests button.
5. This lists all your current permission requests. Each request displays the section they correspond to, the meeting date of the video, the reason submitted for the request, and the overall request status - including the video status. The three possible request statuses are:
   • Approved video requests can be accessed via the Class Recordings tab in Canvas once the Video Available sub-status is displayed.
   • Pending video requests require instructor approval before you can access the recording.
   • Declined video requests are those not approved by the instructor; please contact them for further information.
   Use the available filters above the list to narrow down your requests further if desired:
   • Section
     • Select the section for courses with more than one section (e.g. lecture and recitation) to view requests from.
   • Meeting Dates
     • Select a start date and end date to filter requests within a specific time period.
   • Reason
     • Filter requests based on the submitted reason; options include Personal Illness, Personal/Family Emergency, Religious Observance, Recruiting, and Other.
   • Status
     • Show requests based on their final status; options include Approved, Declined, and Pending.

1. Log into Canvas.

5. Fill out the New Permission form:

     • The 'Other' reason provides a comments field, allowing you to provide more context for the request.
       
   • Select Sections: Select the section to request the video(s).
     • You may only select one section at a time for classes with more than one section (e.g. lecture and recitation).

     • Available dates for requesting recording permissions will appear in the calendar; unavailable dates for recordings will not be selectable.
6. Once the form is completed, click Submit Request to submit your class recording permissions requests to your instructor.
   • You will receive on-screen confirmation that your request was submitted and an email summarizing your video requests at the end of the day.
   • Your submitted requests and their status at this point can also be viewed by clicking the View Permissions button.

If your video request is approved, you can access the video in a folder within the Class Recordings tab in the course Canvas site.  Please allow up to 48 hours after the end of that class AND up to 6 hours after approval for video access to begin.
