In the list where your name appears, select the Courses link to access your course list. Open a course card's menu to change your course availability. You can also change your course's status on the Course Content page.
You can make your course private while you add or experiment with content, and then open it to students when you're ready. Students see private courses in their course lists, but they can't access them.
You can't make a course private during an active term. If a user needs access to a private course, contact your administrator about a course's settings.
Mark a course as complete
You can choose to set your course to Complete when the course has ended, but you can no longer make changes to it. Students can access the content, but they can't participate in the course any longer. For example, they can't reply to discussions or submit assignments. This option is only available for the Ultra Course View.
When a course is complete, you can change the course back to open or private. Return to your course and in the Details & Actions panel, select the Students can view content, but can't participate link. Make a selection in the pop-up window.
If a course has an end date, and the end date passes, then students can't access the course any longer. So, if you complete a course and open it again after the end date, students can't access it.
If you return to the Courses page and don't see all the options in a course's menu after this change, refresh the Courses page.
If you complete a course, you may no longer upload a file to the gradebook.
