Frequently asked questions
A course is placed in Unsupported status when it is no longer supported, usually because it has been replaced by an updated course. Another reason why a course may be unsupported is that it does not meet the state's current standards.
Unsupported courses are still available for use, however it is not recommended. This is because Unsupported courses may have issues such as links not working correctly, embedded documents not opening, or sound distortion issues. These errors will not be corrected because in nearly all cases, there is an updated course to replace the Unsupported one.
Before a course is marked Unsupported, it is marked Scheduled for EOL (end of life). This means that there is a newer version of the course coming, and that the existing one will be marked as Unsupported after the current school year. To avoid enrolling students in an unsupported course, check if a course is the most recent version before the beginning of a school semester using the steps below.
- Current: Most recent edition of the course.
- Previous: There is a newer version of the course, but this one will still be supported indefinitely.
- Scheduled for EOL: The current school year is the last year this course will be supported. At the beginning of April, any course with the edition "Scheduled for EOL" will update to "Unsupported" and districts should update to the Current version of the course.
