Hiding a Course
It is recommended to hide or archive courses when they are no longer available rather than deleting them. That's because when you delete a course, you delete all the information associated with the course, including grades, certificates of completion, and its history.Ā
Step-by-step Guide
To hide a course:
Find the course in question using the course catalogue or search tool
Once in the course, click on Course administration > Edit settings
Change the "Course visibility" to "Hide"
You may make a course visible by setting the same field to "Show"
Click on the save button at the bottom of the page.
Important Notes
If you need to hide many courses at the same, you may want to contact a Course Creator or System Administrator. They have the ability to hide a category of courses, which effectively hides the courses in it.
If the course is meant to be permanently hidden, it should be removed from the programs that reference it. All courses in a program, whether they are hidden or not, need to be completed in order to receive a program learning record / transcript. (Because courses can be hidden for various reasons, the system will not automatically remove them from programs when they are hidden.)
