We make courses hidden from students by default so that you can work on organizing your content behind closed doors. If your students try to access the course while it is still hidden, they will see the error message "This course is currently unavailable to students". To make it available when you are ready, have a read on to see how. Once you've made it available, don't forget to send them a message to let them know.

To verify and/or change the Course visibility status, go to Settings
