How do I view my institution's Public Course Index?
The Public Course Index allows all users within an institution to publicly view the institution’s course index in a catalog format. You can view a link to the Public Course Index on the My Courses page.
Notes:
- The Public Course Index is currently an account setting. If you cannot see the courses link, your institution has not enabled this feature.
- If the Public Course Index is enabled and you are an instructor, learn how to include your course in the public course index.
