Create New Course
Courses are unique to the academic year in which they are taught and the school within which they are created. To create a new course, click the Add New button, and provide a course name and select the appropriate year of instruction.
The process of adding a new course to Ilios gets initiated from the Course list, which is the initial screen displayed after clicking Courses and Sessions from the Ilios flyout menu. This is shown below.
Add New Course
NOTE: Just because "2025-2026" is currently selected from the year drop-down does not mean the new course needs to be in the academic year "2025-2026". This can be selected during the course creation process.
After clicking "Done" as shown in the example shown above, the remaining details of the new course can now be added. Remember to verify that the year chosen in the "Academic Year" selector is correct. It defaults to the current year but can be changed to any future academic year or recently passed year in the system.
Since multiple cohorts can be added to any course, even if the additional cohorts are from a different program or school, there is no direct connection between Course and Program; however, all Courses are saved within a selected school when originaly created.
New Course Saved
After clicking the link (either the one included in the confirmation message or the one included in the course list) as shown above, the screen morphs into the following showing the new course - Drugs And Side Effects 101. This is shown below. The new course is initially saved with a status of Not Published since it has no sessions or offerings yet. Since the act of publishing is essentially the equivalent of populating student calendars with their corresponding offerings, there is nothing to publish at this time. It is still possible to easily delete the course at this point as well - notice the red (active) trash can in the course list.
New Course Details
After clicking the Back to Courses List link, the full list of Courses appears as shown below. It has been filtered by "dr" to limit the results to show the Course we just created. This filtering functionality is covered in greater detail in the next section, Edit Course.
Updated List
In this updated screen shot, arrows point to actions that can be taken on a newly created course - one of which is (Delete). Courses can only be removed / deleted if they are in the status of "Not Published".
The other option shown here - (Lock) can be performed on any course. Locking a course makes it impossible for anyone to edit any attribute of this course. It can then be unlocked if need be and if you have high enough permissions to do so.
