On the Courses page, you can access all of your courses whether they are Original or Ultra course view. Courses are associated with academic or administrative codes known as terms.
Semester-based terms such as spring, summer, fall, and winter.
These courses will have labels on the Current Courses page when they are available and they will also appear on their own term page. These terms have a start and end date.Organization- or purpose-based such as training or course development
These courses are usually set to continuous, which means they will always appear on the Current Courses page. They will also appear on their own term page.
