remove student from a course
How do I delete last year's class from a course?? Is there a way to do it all at once or do I have to do it a student at a time?
The easiest thing to do is to create a copy of the course and enroll your new students in the copy. From Course Manager, click the gear icon next to last year's course, select "Duplicate Course", update the information for the new copy, then click Duplicate. See Duplicate an in-session course for more details.
As added bonuses, the new course doesn't have any of the old discussions, and you start with a fresh gradebook.
Does that help?
