Summary
Archiving a class makes it inaccessible to students. You can still view assignments and statistics, but the class will be unavailable to students.
We automatically archive classrooms every summer to help teachers ease the transition into the new school year. We provide warning email notifications before our automatic archiving each summer, and teachers can always reverse the automatic archiving if they want to continue using a class.
Why archive a class?
When a school year ends, archiving a class and creating a new class for the next school year is much easier than removing students and adding new ones to the same class.
Archiving and recreating allow you to reference past class data to analyze patterns from the past for future classes and is a best practice for record keeping.
How to archive a class
Your classes live in the left sidebar of your Home Dashboard. To archive one:
Using the Class Selector in the left sidebar, click Switch Class and select the class you want to archive from the dropdown options.
Under Manage, click Settings.
Click Options.
Click Archive Class.
Confirm to finish archiving the class.
How to Un-archive
Archived classes stay in your account and are still listed in your Class Selector under Show Archived. To bring one back:
Using the Class Selector in the left sidebar, click Switch Class and select the archived class under Show Archived.
Under Manage, click Settings.
Click Options.
Click Unarchive Class.
