ARCHIVED: In Oncourse, when will students have access to the course I'm teaching?

This content has been archived, and is no longer maintained by Indiana University. Information here may no longer be accurate, and links may no longer be available or reliable.

Important:

Oncourse is retired. For details, see ARCHIVED: About the Oncourse retirement.

One to three weeks before classes begin, students can log into Oncourse and see tabs representing the course sections for which they are registered.

Students will be added automatically to your course a few weeks before classes start. All drops and adds will also be updated automatically. Oncourse will allow you to set start and end dates for individual course announcements and calendar entries. Entries in other areas, however, including the syllabus, will be immediately visible to students.

If you don't want students to see your site, you can unpublish it until you are ready; see ARCHIVED: Publishing or unpublishing a site.

Note: If you unpublish your site, students in the course no longer see the course tab in their Oncourse workspaces. Students may become confused about whether they are officially registered for your course if they do not see it in their workspaces, particularly in the few weeks prior to the beginning of a new semester.

Individuals with any type of instructor role (AI/TA, instructor, assistant) will still have access to the course when it is not published.
