1. UPDATE YOUR COURSES AND PREPARE FOR THE FALL TERM IN DEVELOPMENT SECTIONS. Development courses serve as your course template, where you can update materials and due dates prior to the start of the term. Once the course is ready, copy the Development course into your live section.

Copy your course using these simple steps: Start in the course where the materials are located. Click Packages & Utilities under Course Management, then click Course Copy.

Choose the course you want to copy materials TO. Click Select All. De-select Announcements, and select the 2nd option under Discussion Board.

Submit. You will receive an email when the copy is complete.

If you submit a course copy close to the start of the term, your course will go into the copy queue. It is important that you do not copy your course more than once.

Once the materials have copied into your Fall course, adjust the course menu back to the appropriate order. You can do so by dragging and dropping the course menu link up or down the menu, or by clicking on the Keyboard Accessible Re-ordering button, located at the top of the course menu.
