AsULearn
Course Retention
Banner-created courses in semester categories All courses will be retained for 25 months on AsULearn starting fall 2019. To access an academic course from fall 2018 through summer II 2019, use the AsULearn Sites menu in the navigation bar at the top of AsULearn. and accessible through AsULearn. Backups of courses older than 25 months can be requested with a supportticket for an additional 12 months. Due to the amount of time needed to retrieve and restore archived courses, a requester can expect up to a week to retrieve the backup file and complete the restore after it is requested.
In summary, course backups will be kept for three years plus one month (37 months) total. We will not keep copies of courses beyond 37 months.
Instructors may create and download manual backups of the course content as desired. Manually-created backups in the User private backup area will be retained and available for download for 30 days.
NOTE: Programs or departments that need to access courses beyond the 37-month window are responsible for contacting Academic Technologies BEFORE their scheduled removal from AsULearn storage, including program accreditation needs for course access.
AsULearn courses that are not included in the 25-month academic terms are reviewed annually (April). Managing faculty in low-activity courses (no course/user access in 12 months) will be notified of scheduled course deletion and/or user unenrollments. Course owners can opt out of course deletion if needed via the provided email notification.
Data from 3rd Party Services
Academic Technologies does not host or administer course/student data hosted by 3rd party services (such as courseware hosted by textbook providers). Access to, and retention of, student course data through 3rd party services is determined by the individual provider and may not be included beyond the semester the course is offered.
Student Data
Academic Technologies will remove student data from courses accessible through AsULearn after 13 months. However, all student data is retained in the course backups that we keep for the 37-month window.
Course Visibility
Courses are made visible at 7am on the first day of each term, and hidden from student view at 7am two days after grades are due at the end of each semester. Instructors may elect to make the courses visible to students before the beginning of the semester, and after the end of the semester. Course visibility can also be limited to a single student or students for resolving a grade of Incomplete.
