Moodle: Blocks: CPS: Request a Master Course

Instructors can use a Master Course to create and store content for a course to be taught in a future semester. Students do not get enrolled in Master Courses, so any content will need to be transferred to a teaching course before students can access it. Only one Master Course per course number per instructor is allowed.*

For information about how to restore or import content into any Moodle course, see GROK article #20178 "Moodle: Ways to Restore or Import Content into a Course."

To Initiate a Master Course Creation Request:

1. Log on to Moodle.

2. Click on the Master Course link in the Course Preferences System block at the bottom of the front page of Moodle.
