Warning

Do not click "Include Enrollments in the Copy" , or you will copy over all the students from your old course to your new course. Enrollments of courses that are imported from PeopleSoft are managed automatically through the integration with PeopleSoft. Consequently, this option should not be used!


Once you have completed complete the course copy, it is important to compare the destination course with the source course to ensure that all the content was copied properly. It is significantly much more difficult to redo a course copy once students have started submitting data.

Purpose

For a non-standard course copy, you will still need to follow the basic steps outlined in the standard course copy section above. However, you have some options regarding not copying specific parts of your course into the new course.

For the most part, unchecking a box on the course copy page (pictured above), will simply result in that item not coming copying over. You need to be cautious using these check boxes, as some of them can have may lead to unintended side effects. When performing a normal course copy, HuskyCT admins only use the "Announcements ", and "Discussion Board" check boxes , and leave all the others alone. For that reason, it It is usually not necessary to change the check boxes for any reason. However, if you find that you do need to change one of these check boxes for any reason, these are the ones that you need to look out for:

Checkbox Title

but you may need to use the checkboxes for Grade Center and Test, Quizzes, and Pools.
