My students can't access my course
This documentation is also available via a How to Quickstart video:
Here are the most common reasons why course material might not show up for students and how to fix them.
The course is not published
A course will not be available to students until published. Unpublished courses will have this warning at the top of their home page:
Click Publish located on the right hand side of your screen.
You will see the following:
Published will now appear in green under course status. The course is now visible to students.
"Users can only participate in the course between these dates" is set
If the term start and end dates are incorrectly set and the option "Users can only participate in the course between these dates" is checked, students might not be able to access the course.
1. Click on Settings in the course navigation menu to the left
2. Under the Course Details tab, check that the dates are correct (there might not be an end date) and that Users can only participate in the course between these dates is unchecked.
3. Click Update Course Details if you made any changes.
The course material is locked
Course material can be locked by either manually locking it (modules, files) or by setting "Available from" and "Until" dates (assignments, discussions, quizzes).
Check whether modules are locked
Modules can be locked manually or have rules set to unlock them automatically.
1. Click on Modules in the course navigation menu to the left.
2. Click on the gear icon to the far right of the module header bar, then click Edit .
3. Check the module details to see if the module is locked or has prerequisites that must be completed before students can access the module.
4. Click Update Module if you made any changes, otherwise click Cancel .
Check whether Files are locked
Files can be manually locked from the Files section.
1. Click on Files in the course navigation menu to the left.
2. Locked files and folders will be indicated by a lock on the file icon
3. To unlock a file or folder, click the open lock icon to the right of it
Check "Available from" and "Until" dates
Assignments can be locked by setting "Available from" and "Until" dates.

The course material is unpublished

Similarly, if you enter any of these items individually (modules, pages, assignments, discussions, quizzes), there will be a green/grey button at the top indicating whether it is published or not.
Lock an assignment
You can control when students can access or submit an assignment by locking an assignment. Lock an assignment to restrict students from accessing it until the date you set.

- After the page automatically refreshes, your course will be unlocked, and the course end date will be set to one month from the current date. If you're satisfied with this end date, you don't need to take further action.
- If you want the course to remain open for a longer or shorter period of time, in the "Ends:" field, revise the course end date, and then click Update Course Details to save your changes.
You should now be able to make changes throughout your course. The course will now appear above the "Past Enrollments" heading on your personal "All Courses" page.
