How can I give my former students access to my old course?

If your former student wants to access the course materials from previous semesters, and you would like to allow this request, you can authorize the student by following the steps below:

First, you should change the role of the student. You can do this by following these steps:

  1. Under the “My courses” menu, click on the relevant course from your inactive courses (previous courses).
  1. Click on the “Participants” link in the middle of the page.
  1. To the right of the student’s name, click the pencil icon under the “Roles” column.
  1. Select the “Course Access (for student)” role from the drop-down list, remove the “Student” role, and then save it by clicking the disk icon. This will give your student access to the course.
   

Afterward, the student’s role must be changed back to “Student.” Otherwise, the student will have permanent access to the course.
