UBLearns Data Management Policy

In accordance with UB's Undergraduate policy regarding Incomplete Grades, courses will remain available to instructors on the UBLearns system for a maximum period of 12 months after the semester ends. Course sites reaching the 12 month threshold will be automatically removed from the system based on the following timetable:

The automatic removal period will be scheduled and announced to UBLearns instructors in advance. Instructors who require access to course content scheduled for removal should refer to Enrollment Change-over in UBLearns.

UBLearns is a dynamic and growing course management tool that delivers course content and fosters learning in a real-time on-line environment. Our goal is to keep UBLearns stable and equipped for growth. Removing old course data on the system helps meet that goal and makes space for new courses that demand increasingly complex and data-rich content.

This policy applies only to non-administrative courses in UBLearns. Administrative sites will be reviewed on a yearly basis or removed at the owners’ request.
