        !             2: A course can not be ``deleted'' from a LON-CAPA server. Courses occupy
        !             3: very little storage space, and an inactive course is not a burden on
        !             4: the system. On the other hand, allowing data to be permanently deleted
        !             5: could lead to serious accidental data loss.
        !             6: 
        !             7: You \emph{can} expire the roles\index{roles, expiring}for all users in
        !             8: the course. For example, when you use \textbf{ENRL} or \textbf{CUSR}
        !             9: to put students, instructors, or course coordinators into a course,
        !            10: you can set an ending date for those roles. When the ending
        !            11: date\index{roles, end date} is reached, the role associated with the
        !            12: course will not be accessible to the user any more.
        !            13: 
        !            14: If you view the \textbf{ROLES} screen, you will see a checkbox at the
        !            15: top that allows you to display all roles. If you check that box and
        !            16: click the display button, you can see your current and expired roles,
        !            17: if any.
        !            18: 
        !            19: It is a good idea to get into the habit of setting end dates for all
        !            20: courses.
