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.
