Moodle Course Access
Summary
This article describes the terms for Moodle course access beyond the regular term period.
Course Access
Moodle course access can be available for up to 48 months after the start of the semester or quarter term. Upon departing from Clarkson, Moodle course access will terminate according to Clarkson's Account Deactivation Policy.
Students:
How long you can see your courses?
- Once the semester starts, you can usually see the course and its materials for up to 48 months (4 years).
What this means for you?
- We will do our best to keep your courses available. But we cannot promise that all course materials, activities, or your own submissions will always be there after the course ends.
Why a course might go away sooner?
- Sometimes a course or parts of a course may be turned off or removed before the 48 months are up. This can happen when:
-
- The teacher or administrator decides to turn off the whole course or certain activities.
- Files or videos stop working because of contract terms, software changes or other technical reasons. ex) Moodle version updates may result in issues like quiz questions and others to stop working.
- Support for materials or tools used in a course past the term end date is not provided.
- The teacher or administrator decides to turn off the whole course or certain activities.
-
Faculty:
- Once the terms ends, the choice is yours to turn off access to parts or the whole course.
- Courses older than 48 months are purged from Moodle and permanently deleted. Course content can not be retrieved after this time. Note: Follow these instructions to create a back up copy of course content for longer term storage.
