====== Change course name ======

You can edit the basic entries from the course as the course owner ("**Teacher**" role).

//**Exception:** Only the [[en/contact/contact/start|Moodle Support]] or your dean's office can change the course section.//

In the settings, you can change the course name, the course description and the visibility of the course room for students, among other things. \\

**Procedure:** \\


1. On your course overview page, click on the "**Settings**" tab in the course navigation.

2. Make the desired settings and confirm changes with the "**Save and display**" button. (Cancel exits the page without making any changes.) \\

Basic entries:

  * **Course full name**

e.g.: SoSe24 Course/Lecturer  

  * **Course short name**

e.g.: SoSe24 Course/Lecturer (abbreviate the name of the "course" if necessary). The name must be unique throughout the system.

  * **Course category**

The course area is the folder in which the course room is located. This is usually the module name. Changes can be made on request by [[en:contact:contact:start|Moodle Support]].
