Delete courses and sections with a CSV file

Move courses or sections to the Deleted Courses area by importing a CSV file.

Considerations

  • Deleted courses and sections are moved to the Deleted Courses area. They are not permanently removed and can be restored.

  • Deleting a course deletes all sections within that course.

  • Deleting a section removes only that section, not the parent course.

  • Deleted is different from archived. Archived courses are included in reports and search; deleted courses are not.

  • Enrollments in deleted sections become inactive. If the section is restored, enrollments are restored.
