If you have old courses in Brightspace, they may be removed soon. Staring this academic year, we will only retain the three most recent years of courses in Brightspace. Any courses that were imported to Brightspace from Blackboard as well as courses from spring 2022, fall 2022, winter 2023, and spring 2023 will be deleted. Moving forward, we will continue to delete the oldest term at the end of the current term. For more information on this including how to request more time to retain your course, please read this article.
