Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

How do I add participants to a past Carmen Course?

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.
