Course Inactivation
- The Course Catalog search page displays
- Enter search criteria.
- Ensure that the Include History check box is checked.
- Select Search.
- The Catalog Data page displays. Note the Effective Date and Status. Note also the number of effective-dated rows.
- Select the + icon to add a new Effective Daterow for five days before the term the course should no longer be offered. Note the number of effective-dated rows.
- Example: BARB 101 offered in Spring 2017 will become inactive in Summer 2017. Add the effective dated row of 6/25/2017 (any date between the end of spring and before the first day of summer is preferred; however, it is preferred to use a few days before the first day of summer).
- Change the Status to "Inactive." On this date, the course will no longer display in the online course catalog and will no longer be schedulable.
- Select Save.
- Process complete.
Timing and effective date changes to the course catalog are critical to preventing FTE calculation issues. Any course change should be done by adding a new effective date row (don't use the correct history).
