1.1       bowersj2    1: \label{Course_Deleting}
                      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: 
1.2       bowersj2    7: You \emph{can} expire the roles\index{roles, expiring} for all users in
1.1       bowersj2    8: the course. For example, when you use \textbf{ENRL} or \textbf{CUSR}
1.3     ! vandui11    9: to put students or Course Coordinators into a course,
1.1       bowersj2   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
1.3     ! vandui11   16: click the \fbox{Display} button, you can see your current and expired roles,
1.1       bowersj2   17: if any.
                     18: 
                     19: It is a good idea to get into the habit of setting end dates for all
1.3     ! vandui11   20: courses.
