You must publish a course before students can access it and its contents. Students cannot see unpublished courses and their respective content.
.
Note: Additionally, unless a course is published, students will not receive Announcements, Inbox messages, or other course-specific correspondence.
.
To publish, click on the left-hand home page, then click the publish checkmark in the upper right-hand corner. The check mark turns green indicating your course has now been published.
.
Conversely, to unpublish click the unpublished sign adjacent to the checkmark.
