Following are the instructions to extend the start and end date of a course:

  1. Go to "Settings" in left-hand navigation in your Canvas course section.
  2. On the "Course Details" tab, scroll down to the "Participation" section.
  3. Instead of "Term" in the drop-down menu there, choose "Course."
  4. Set start and end dates.

You likely still have to Publish the course manually at the start of the quarter.Here's a quick video on this to go along with the above instructions https://1513041.mediaspace.kaltura.com/media/Canvas+Extend+Course+Dates/1_vq282ons
