How do I make my course available to students?

We make courses hidden from students by default so that you can work on organizing your content behind closed doors! If your students try to access the course while it is still hidden, they will see the error message "this course is currently unavailable to students". Please see the two methods below on how to make your course available to students. Once you've made it available don't forget to send them a message to let them know.

When a course is hidden from your students, the course visibility icon in the ribbon will display as a crossed out eye symbol, with the title Course disabled.
