What does it mean to archive a course in Google Classroom?
Archiving a course in Google Classroom means moving it to the “Archived” section of your Classroom homepage. This action does not delete the course or its content, but rather removes it from the active courses list, making it easier to manage and navigate through your Classroom interface.
Why should I archive a course?
Archiving courses helps to declutter your Classroom homepage and make it easier to find and manage active courses. It is especially useful when you have a large number of courses or when a semester or school year comes to an end. Archiving allows you to focus on the current courses while still having easy access to past courses if needed.

Go to your Classroom homepage.
Find the course you want to archive and click on the three dots icon in the top right corner of the course card.

Confirm the action by clicking “Archive” again in the pop-up window.
Can I access archived courses after I have archived them?
