Copy Section to Another Course

If needed, you can copy a section from one course into another course. The section being copied is not changed.

Note This feature is not available for K–12 teachers who manage their courses through NGLSync.

Note If you are not the primary instructor for the section you want to copy, the permissions you have might not allow you to copy the section. See Grant Another Instructor Access to Your Course.

This creates a new section in the course with all of the assignments scheduled from the section being copied. In addition, many of the settings from the original section are copied.

Open the My Classes page.

Click Classes > My Classes and find the section you want.
Under Class Tools, click Copy to Existing Course.
When prompted, click the name of the course into which you want to copy the section.

You can select from your current and future courses.
Select the primary Instructor.
Specify when the Class Meets.
Whether or not class meetings times are set must match the original section.

Optional: Override the default copy settings.

Setting	Description
Copy restrictions (security, time, conditional release)	By default, the following assignment restrictions are copied: Password Protected IP Address (Location) Restricted LockDown Browser® Required Timed Assignment Conditional Release Group assignment settings and conditional release waivers for students cannot be copied because those settings are unique to each roster of students.
Create a new copy of each assignment	By default, the original assignments scheduled to the section you are copying are scheduled to the new section. This means that if you make changes to the original assignment, those changes are reflected in every section. By default, the original assignments are copied and the copies are scheduled to the new section. Keep this setting enabled if you are copying another instructor's course and want to edit assignments. You cannot override this copy setting when updating your textbook to the newest edition.
Copy additional instructor access	By default, any other instructors or TAs who have access to the section you are copying will have access to the new section.
Copy gradebook settings	If a gradebook was configured for the section you are copying, it will be configured the same way for the new section.

Click Copy Section to Course.

Always review the section schedule after copying. Usually, some changes are required for the new course. See Reschedule Assignments.

If your school should be billed for WebAssign access — common for high schools — set the student fee payment method for your new section to Bill Institution.
