Manage Courses & Sections

Some administrators will have permission to manage courses and sections in addition to those they build or instruct.

1. Choose Professional Learning from the main menu.

2. Choose Manage, then Manage Courses or Manage Sections.

3. Click a course or section title.

You can:

• Update courses and sections

• Manage a section roster

• Manage a section waitlist

• Record section attendance

Starting v25.9.0.0, the header row in the Manage Courses and Manage Sections grids will now stay visible as you scroll. This feature makes it easier to navigate large lists of courses or sections while keeping column labels in view. This ensures that you always know which data belongs to which column, even when working with long records.

Reopen a section

1. Click the Participants number for the section to reopen.

2. Click Reopen Section.

3. Enter a Reopen Reason.

4. Click Reopen Section.

Any user with permissions can update the section details, instructors, class times, roster, waitlist, or attendance when the section is reopened.

Archive courses and sections

Archived courses and sections are now set to be non-editable to maintain data integrity. Once a course or section is archived, edits are restricted unless the course/section is unarchived or copied.

Even though archived courses are non-editable, you can still perform the following actions:

• Copy sections

• Manage attendance

• Cancel sections

However, you cannot modify:

• Section settings

• Room assignments

• Instructor lists

Manage archived courses

When managing multiple courses at once, remember:

• Edits are allowed only on unarchived courses.

• An information icon appears at the start of the bulk management workflow, highlighting that archived courses will not be updated.

• If edits are required, make the necessary changes before archiving.

If you need to make changes to an archived course or section, you must first:

1. Unarchive the course/section, or

2. Create a copy of the course/section

Once unarchived or copied, full editing capabilities will be restored.

In the managed courses and sections, you can register a user for a course by impersonating "Test Teacher One." Then, log in as the instructor of the course, where you will be able to update the course sections, manage your roster, handle the section waitlist, and record attendance.
