Export / Archive Course

Course Export/Archive allows faculty to generate a course package containing all content or specific content from the course. My.Seneca Administrators strongly recommend performing one of these tasks since it allows Instructors to store a full copy of the course in their local system.

NOTE: All courses remain on My.Seneca for a four consecutive semesters following the term they occurred in. Old courses will not be restored after this point.
