WebCT Semester Deletions

To maximize server (Salsa) performance and reduce the number of inactive courses displayed in the students’ myWebCT pages, an archive plan is in place.

This archive plan involves automatically deleting courses from the WebCT server (Salsa) based on the semester. You can maintain courses for two future semesters on the WebCT server (Salsa). Courses older than the current semester will automatically be deleted from the server as listed below:

Semester	Hidden from student and faculty view	Deleted from server
Fall	38 days into Spring semester	45 days into Spring semester
Spring	38 days into Fall semester	45 days into Fall semester
Summer	38 days into Fall semester	45 days into Fall semester

Examples:

Fall 07 courses will be removed from student and faculty view in Spring 08 on February 23, 2008. Fall 07 courses will be deleted from the server in Spring 2008 on March 1.

Spring 08 courses will be removed from student and faculty view in Fall 2008 on September 30. Spring 08 courses will be deleted from the server in Fall 2008 on October 8.

Summer 08 courses will be removed from student and faculty view in Fall 2008 on September 30. Summer 08 courses will be deleted from the server in Fall 2008 on October 8.
