Course Number Guidelines

Course Number Guidelines#

Tags: educator reference

The course title (sometimes also called the course name) and number are important identifiers for your course. It is a good idea to use titles and numbers that are easy to understand and remember.

Course numbers have the following guidelines.

  • Course numbers can have a maximum of 10 characters.

  • Characters can be letters, numbers, or periods.

  • If a course consists of several modules, the course number can have an ending such as .1x or .2x.

Note

The number that you specify when you create your course becomes part of the course URL. The course URL cannot be changed. However, if you want to change the way that your course number appears in Studio and the LMS, see Change the Course Number.
