Make your course visible to students
This allows the Course leader to construct their course and then release it to the students when ready. A course should only be made available to the students once the content is fit for purpose.
You can distinguish if your course is hidden by the hidden eye icon appearing in your Courses Archive Page.

Navigate to the course that you would like to change
In the Administration Setting cog (top right of the page), Click Edit Settings
You will be presented with the course settings screen. Under the first heading, General Settings locate the option entitled Course visibility.
