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. 

Step-by-step Guide

To hide a course:

  1. Find the course in question using the course catalogue or search tool
  2. Once in the course, click on Course administration > Edit settings
  3. Change the "Course visibility" to "Hide"
    1. You may make a course visible by setting the same field to "Show"
  4. 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.)
