Course Settings

The following pages walk through the key Course Settings checks.

Once your course is restored, your first step is to open the course settings and confirm the following details:

Course Settings can be found via the Administration block > Course Administration >  Settings

Do not make changes to the following settings:

  • Course full name - please make name change requests to COTROnline
  • Course short name
  • Course category
  • Course ID number - do not change even if blank
Do not change the Course Name, Course Short Name, Course Category, or Course ID Number

Hide-Show Courses: The course will begin as 'hidden' - this hides the course from students.  Courses are automatically set to "show" by COTROnline for the first day of classes.
**You may choose to "show" your course early, but you must first confirm that the student enrollments have been processed and they match your student list in AccessCOTR.

Course Format: This setting relates to the sections display on your homepage - details on these settings are provided in the Course Start and End Dates chapter of this book. You must use the "Collapsed Topics" format and avoid changing this global structure. You can change the appearance of your sections within the "Collapsed Topics" structure.
