Closing a course

If you want to close one of your saved courses, make sure all students have been transferred off the course or have completed study.

Closing a course in CMS will close it for all academic years. When you select Close this course, CMS will check the Student Information Service (SIS) for any active approved applications in the current and previous academic year. This check will include all intakes of the course. For example, if you want to close the January intake of a course that also has September intake, CMS will check both for applications.

CMS will mark the course as pending closure while the checks SIS. The pending status will show on the actual course and on the Course list page.

If there are no active applications in the current or previous academic year, the system will close the course. If there were active applications in the current or previous academic year, it will automatically reopen the course.

CMS will not complete course closure for an hour to allow for the SIS check to take place. Once closed, the course will still appear on your course listing for the current academic year. It will not appear when course submission is available for the following academic year.
