Delete a course

Remove a course for everyone from Course settings. Only instructors can delete, and support can restore a course deleted by mistake.

Before you delete

Deleting a course removes it for everyone:

  • Learners, assistants, and instructors lose access right away.
  • The course disappears from everyone's dashboard.
  • Learners' submissions, grades, and progress in the course are no longer available.
  • Join codes stop working, and LMS links to the course stop opening.

If you're done teaching the course but want to reuse it, duplicate it for next term first. Record or sync any grades you still need before you delete.

Who can delete

Only instructors in the course can delete it. Assistants and learners can't.

  1. Open the course and choose Settings.
  2. In the sidebar, under Course, choose Duplicate & delete.

You can't restore a deleted course yourself. If you deleted one by mistake, contact support with the course title and roughly when you deleted it. Support can usually restore it with its content, roster, and student work.
