Moodle: Course Visibility

The course Visibility setting determines whether the course appears in the list of courses for students. Apart from teachers and administrators, users are not allowed to enter the course unless this setting is changed to Show. 

Courses are hidden sitewide after the term is over (grades have been completed). If a course has an incomplete student, the instructor will need to make it visible again for them to finish their work.
 

How to Make a Course Visible to Students in Moodle

1. In the sidebar, click on the Course Administration menu gear icon and then Settings.
