- Select "New Course" from the left-hand menu on your Quest homepage
- Name your course with a full name and a short name.
- Assign a course unique (can include letters) for students to be able to enroll in the course. The Associated Uniques designation is optional, but useful for combining multiple sections of a class.

Think of it as xeroxing a piece of paper, it makes a copy of the old course. Changes made to the old course will not carry over to the new one after the copy is performed. |
The next page in course creation is the grading scheme, which will copy from a template if used.
