After a course has finished, it will remain available to faculty for one year and a quarter. After that time the course will be deleted from the system. If you want to archive your course in order to refer back to it at any time or to import it into a future course site, please do the following:
- Log into your course site.
- Click the Control Panel.
- Under Course Options, click Archive Course.
- Click the Archive button.
- Click the Submit button.
- You will see a message notifying you that your request has been queued and that you will receive an email once the course has been archived. Once you receive the email notification, return to your course site.
NOTE: If you do not receive an email within 5 minutes of having requested that the course be archived, go ahead and proceed with step 7. Email notifications don't always go through like they should, and typically the course finishes archiving within that period of time.
- Within the Control Panel, click Archive Course.
- You will see a link to the zip file containing the contents of your archived course. Right-click on the link to the file, and choose Save Target As.
- Locate where you want to save the file on your computer, and click Save.
