Four weeks into the spring and fall semesters, instructor and student access to WebCT courses from the previous two terms will be deactivated and courses will be placed in short-term storage. Faculty with WebCT courses from those terms will be notified via e-mail several weeks prior to the removal and can request that immediate access to certain courses be retained until the next semester. After the placement of those courses in short-term storage, faculty wishing to retrieve a WebCT course from either of the previous two semesters in the short-term storage can submit a request via e-mail to webct-info@udel.edu. Please allow three days for a course stored in short-term storage to be restored.

Starting spring 2002, each fall and spring, courses for the previous year will be moved to long-term storage. Faculty wishing to retrieve one of their WebCT courses that is more than one year old must allow two weeks after submitting a request via e-mail to webct-info@udel.edu.

If faculty choose to keep earlier courses active, they control whether former students can still have access. Faculty can request that new courses be created based on course material from previous semesters, allowing three days for a course in short-term storage and two weeks for a course in long-term storage.

In the chart below, each column shows which WebCT courses are currently available or in storage for any given term. For example, in fall 2002, WebCT courses from fall 2000 to summer 2001 will be archived in long-term storage, courses from fall 2001 to summer 2002 will be kept in short-term storage, and fall 2002 and future courses will be currently available.
