Notes:
- Importing a course more than once may have unintended consequences. If you import content into a new course, edit the content in the new course, and later import the previous content again, the imported content will override the existing content.
- If you copy all content or include course settings in the selected content, the grade posting policy from the original course will override the grade posting policy in the new course. The participation dates from the original course will override the participation dates in the new course. Additionally, imported assignments will retain their assignment posting policy and participation dates from the original course.
Open Course Settings
Open your dashboard, and contact technical support if you can not see the new courses for the coming school year. In a Course Navigation, click the Settings link.

To search for a course by name, enter the name in the Course Name field [3]. Click the name of the course when it appears.
Note: If you have access to more than 100 courses, the search page only displays the Course Name field.
