This creates a new section in the course with all of the assignments scheduled from the section being copied. In addition, many of the settings from the original section are copied.

  1. Open the My Classes page.

    Click Classes My Classes and find the section you want.

  2. Under Class Tools, click Copy to Existing Course.

  3. When prompted, click the name of the course into which you want to copy the section.

    You can select from your current and future courses.

  4. Select the primary Instructor.

  5. Specify when the Class Meets.

    Whether or not class meetings times are set must match the original section.

  6. Override the default copy settings.

    Create a new copy of each assignment

    By default, the original assignments scheduled to the section you are copying are scheduled to the new section. This means that if you make changes to the original assignment, those changes are reflected in every section.

    By default, the original assignments are copied and the copies are scheduled to the new section. Keep this setting enabled if you are copying another instructor's course and want to edit assignments.

    You cannot override this copy setting when updating your textbook to the newest edition.

  7. Click Copy Section to Course.

Always review the section schedule after copying. Usually, some changes are required for the new course. See Reschedule Assignments.

If your school should be billed for WebAssign access — common for high schools — set the student fee payment method for your new section to Bill Institution.
