Schoology - Copying a Course in Schoology

This article shows you how to copy from one course to another. This can be done across sections and semesters.

Using the Copy to function in Schoology provides some distinct advantages over Import From Resources. Most notably Dates, Grade Categories, Availability information and Folder color are all maintained during this process.

Note: This process must be done in order to work properly and the Gradebook doesn’t populate until the end of the entire process. (Copy Grading Settings, Copy Materials)
