Edit Course Copy Properties

These properties determine whether other instructors can copy or link to this course. (You can always copy or link to your own courses.)

Copy a course: When you or another instructor copies a course, the new course is fully customizable.
Link to a course: When you or another instructor link to a course, the new course's title, section, student access properties, and start and end dates can be modified. However, the new course's Study Plan settings and course copy properties are inherited from the original course and cannot be changed.

To edit a course's copy properties:

Open the course that has the settings you want to change.
Do one of the following to display the Settings page:
- Click the Settings link at the top of the course window.
- Click the Study Plan tab, then click Change Course Settings.
- Display the Home page, then click the View button in the My Course block.
Click the Edit button for Course Copy Properties.
The Course Copy Properties page is displayed.
Change the settings as needed.
Make Course Public: Select Yes to allow other instructors to copy or link to the course. If you select No, only you can copy or link to the course. For this option, keep in mind that selecting Yes makes the course available to all instructors, not just those at your institution.
Course Copy Availability: Select an option from the drop-down list to specify whether other instructors can copy or link to your course. (The drop-down list is available only if you selected Yes for Make Course Public.)
Require Password to Copy: Select Yes if you want the course available for copying or linking only by instructors who have the password. Then enter the Copy Access Password. (This option is available only if you selected Yes for Make Course Public.)
Copy Course Notes: Select Yes if you want any notes you added to the course included when the course is copied or linked to.
Click the Save button to save your changes.
