Subject: Instructors: Inactivate Spring courses and Activate Summer Courses in D2L

As an instructor, you control student access to your course. When you no longer want students to have access to your Spring 2013 course, you need to make the course inactive. When you want students to begin accessing your Summer 2013 course, you need to make your course active. Student access is not automatic is not controlled by the semester start and end date. The course start date and end date noted on courses in the "My courses" widget is for information purposes only. Student access is basically an on/off switch controlled by the instructor.

To make your course active or inactive:
-Go to your course in D2L.
-Select "Edit Course" (small green icon on the far right of the blue toolbar).
-Select "Course Offering Information".
-Under "Active" remove the check mark to make the course inactive or place a check mark in the box to make the course active.
-Select "Save" at the bottom of the page.
