Course Availability
A course must be made available to students before they can view or access the course and its content. However, you may want to make a course unavailable while building the course or after a scheduled course has finished. You can choose to set your course availability using the Qwickly tool or through your blackboard course. Using the Qwickly tool will allow you to change the course availability for multiple courses at one time. Using the blackboard tool will require that you change the availability for each course separately.

Mark a course as complete through Blackboard
You can choose to set your course to Complete when the course has ended, but you can no longer make changes to it. Students can access the content, but they can't participate in the course any longer. For example, they can't reply to discussions or submit assignments. Note that this option is only available for courses in the Ultra Course View.
