Publish a course template to sections

  • Only one Course Template can be published in a Course Section. 

  • The course selection list may take up to 15 minutes to reflect updated statuses after changes to course parameters are made or templates are published.

  • Course templates published in a course section cannot be undone.

After the grading period associated with a template ends, the template is moved to the archive and is no longer displayed for system administrators.

To restore access, locate the grading period linked to the archived templates and extend its dates. This will make the templates display again in the Course Templates tab, where they can be reassigned to a longer grading period.

  1. Select Courses and then select My Courses.

  2. Select Course Templates.

  3. For the selected template, choose Publish to Sections from the Actions (gear icon) list.

  4. Search for specific course sections or browse all sections.

  6. Review your selections and click Add.

  7. Click Proceed and then click Done.

  8. Optionally, from the published confirmation page, select Transfer History to check the publication status.

Course template status

The course template status indicates the date that a course was synced to a Course Template and who published the course template to the course.

Access the course template status from the Information section of a course where a course template has been published.
