Access and remove old courses from previous semesters
Your ability to access an old course is determined by the following prerequisites:
- You are enrolled in the course
- The course is set to Active
- The course has no date restrictions
- The current date is within the available date range of the course
This means that while you may be able to see your previous and upcoming courses on the home page or from the course selector, you likely cannot access those courses. To request access to an old course, contact your teacher.
To remove old courses
Teachers should remove old courses from your view before a new semester starts. If you still see courses from previous semesters, you must contact your teacher for that course to remove it from your home page. Ask your teacher to de-activate the course. If you are missing a course in Brightspace, contact your teacher, your guidance counselor, or your school's Help Desk for further assistance.
