There are two ways to remove a course from your active courses: deleting a course and changing the end date to put it in the past. The chosen option depends on whether students have been added to the course. Once a course has had students added to it, it can no longer be deleted. If deletion is not an option, then the course's end date can be changed to the past to make the course inactive.
B. Putting a Course in the Past
A. Deleting a Course
Note: This option is only available to School Administrators for courses when no students have ever been added. It is essential to note that simply removing students from the course will not enable deletion if students have previously been added.
1. Begin on the main my.platinumed dashboard and click Manage Courses on the grey and black active courses tile on the left.
Note: You must access your courses through the main dashboard, not an Admin role.
2. Click delete for the desired course under Actions.
Note: If delete is not an option, you must use the directions in the next section.
3. Confirm that you want to delete the course by clicking ok. Once you click ok, the course will be deleted. This action cannot be undone. If you delete the incorrect course, the only option is to create another course.
B. Putting a Course into the Past:
Note: This can only be done by School Administrators or Course Admins.
1. Click on the Manage Courses grey and black tile on the main dashboard. This will cause the Manage Course Listing section to display.
2. Locate the course you want to "remove" and click edit on the right side of the screen.
3. Change the End Date of the course to the past.
Note: The end date of a course cannot come before the start date. If the start date is also in the future, you will need to change the Start Date to the past first, then change the end date.
4. Save when finished.
Pro Tip: If you are going to be adding or already have a different course with a similar or identical name you may also want to adjust the name of the course (like adding something akin to "DO NOT USE" at the end) to limit confusion when attempting to pull reports later.
When you return to your Dashboard, you will notice the course is no longer listed as active. You can use the toggle active button to view your inactive courses, where the course can now be found.
Note: All inactive courses will be highlighted in yellow, while active ones will remain green.
