Humboldt State University Help Desk FAQ

The Course Availability feature allows you to make your course available to students.

By default, courses are available to students when created. An unavailable course is not visible to students but is visible to teachers. This feature allows faculty to develop a course or test a course site without students having access. However, students who enroll in a course through Web Reg are automatically added to the course in Moodle, and they are automatically able to access it unless otherwise specified. This will assist you in changing this setting.

From the Course Menu:

1. Click the Control Panel link in the Course Menu section.
2. Click the Edit course settings option.
3. Scroll down until you find the Availability section. From the drop down box change the selection from "This course is available to students" to "This course is not available to students."
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Save changes.
