Copy a Section to an Existing 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.

  1. Open the My Classes page.

    Click Classes > My Classes and find the section you want.

  2. Under Class Tools, click Copy to Existing Course.
  3. 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.

  4. Type a Section.

    When copying a section into an existing course, the section number is required.

  5. Select the primary Instructor.
  6. Optional: If your textbook includes premade Course Pack assignments, select how you want to add your first assignments.
  7. Select the check box certifying your use of the selected textbook in your class.
  8. 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.

1 Personal Study Plan settings are copied only for the Personal Study Plan associated with the primary textbook. See Secondary Personal Study Plan Settings Not Copied.
