Transferring a class

You can transfer courses to other users or organization accounts.

About class transfers #

When you transfer a class to a new owner, they can immediately administer the class’s contents, exercises, comments, releases, course boards, and settings.

Prerequisites for class transfers:

• When you transfer a class that you own to another user account, the new owner will receive a confirmation email. The confirmation email includes instructions for accepting the transfer. If the new owner doesn’t accept the transfer within 24 hours, the invitation will expire.
• To transfer a class that you own to an organization, you must have permission to create a class in the target organization.
• The target account must not have a class with the same name.
• The original owner of the class is added as a user on the transferred class. Other users of the transferred class remain intact.

Class transfers and organizations #

To transfer classes to an organization, you must have class creation permissions in the receiving organization. If organization owners have disabled class creation by organization members, only organization owners can transfer classes out of or into the organization.

Once a class is transferred to an organization, the organization’s default class permission settings and default membership privileges will apply to the transferred class.

Transferring a class owned by your user account #

You can transfer your class to any user account that accepts your class transfer. When a class is transferred between two user accounts, the original class owner and users are automatically added as users to the new class.
