Once a course's term end date has passed, the course will have read-only access. This means that a course is not available for:

• Adding participants
• Submitting assignments
• Posting discussions
• Uploading files
• Grading
• Any other action-based task within a course

Prior to the term end dates, you can override the term date for a particular course by setting your own course dates.

If you want to add an instructor to a past course so they can preview or copy your instructional content, we recommend that you copy your material into a forum course. This will help ensure compliance with FERPA regulations.

If you do need to add an instructor to a past course, please have the instructor of record for the original course email carmen@osu.edu with a brief explanation for why the access is needed. Include the username of the person to be added and a date by which the course should return to read-only status.
