UBlearns Data Management Policy

Courses will remain available to instructors on the UBlearns system for a maximum period of 12 months after the semester ends.

About UBlearns Data Management Policy

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.

In accordance with UB's Undergraduate Incomplete 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:

Semester Removal Date
(the following academic year)
Fall courses January 15
Spring courses June 15
Summer courses Spetember 15

The automatic removal period will be scheduled and announced to UBlearns instructors in advance. Additionally, scheduled removal dates for each course are listed on UBlearns Course Setup.

Courses for Departmental or Administrative Use will be reviewed on a yearly basis or removed at the owners’ request.

Instructors who require access to course content scheduled for removal should refer to Export/Archive Course and Import Package/View Logs.
