Users can be removed from an academy from the “I’m Managing” tab. Click on “Edit Role” on the “Users” tab and remove all roles for a user. This will remove them from the academy.

Project Management Course
I would like to recommend that Cisco create a project management course. You could add this to your Business course offerings and it would benefit us all.
6 votesThanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately at this time, we will not be able to create this course.

Show an incomplete in the gradebook for any student currently taking a assessment.
If a student enrolled in another section after assessments are created, it is required that all of their assessments be deactivated in the 1st course before they can be activated in the new course. A bulk deactivation would be the easy fix, but it jeopardizes students who may be currently taking an assessment. Individually deactivating the students assessments is too cumbersome.

Submit Google Docs in Assignments
There used to be a way for students to submit Google Docs and Slides in the File Upload option of an assignment. I can no longer access this feature this year. Please add this feature back to the assignment interface.

News and Events
The new "News and Events" menu has 3 sub-menus: Students, Instructors, Partners. Many times, the same news is tagged with more than one scope (Partners + Instructors, for example).
If I read that news under "Partners" and the news is published under more categories, it should be marked as read, automatically, also under "Instructors" and "Students".1 voteThanks for the suggestion. The system already works this way. However, sometimes marketing creates a similar looking article for the different audiences with different details.

Thank you for the suggestion. The Curriculum and Assessment team are reviewing all resources and asking for more to be added under the Course Resource section. Some items such as labs and PKAs will only be available through the course going forward.

Thank you for the suggestion. Students and Instructors have the ability to request the Letters of Merit. At this time there are no plans to make it required for instructors to approve allowing students to be able to request their own Letters of Merit.

I created new course and I made mistake same name and courses id with others. So that conflict the new course with the other. I deleted the new course, but evidently content of the old course loss.
I suppose netacad.com to prevent instructors for creating a course with same name and course id with others.
Thank you

Please let us decide the order for Course listing
I see other Ideas are there on this topic. I opened a course, which disappeared in the list of our 300+ courses, and I only can find it by searching its name. Please let us choose the list order, i.e. by alphabet, or by starting date, or by Academy, or by language, or by manifold criteria.

list of available courses to be created in alphabetical order
Hi,
I think it would be easier for us instructors to get the available new courses when creating a course in alphabetical order, as we could find a particular course much faster.1 voteThanks for the suggestion. We are working on implementing a better order of the courses in the create course wizard.
Please use the search box on the create course wizard to quickly find the course you want. -

Add a button to send message to a course directly from "I'm Teaching" panel
When you need to send a message to all students in a course you have to go in the specific "Inbox" panel and then select the course. This operation is quite annoying if you have a lot of active courses because the select form does't display so well.
It can be more practical to add a button in the course summary chart in the "I'm teaching" panel, where now there are Course Details, Grades and Assignments. Next to the last one a button could directly point to the Inbox panel with prefilled field about the course.1 voteThanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately we will not be able to implement at this time.

The need for having an affiliation evidence for Cisco netacad affiliates
Having a certificate of Affiliations will be good, especially for the authenticity and trust. Must at times people will be asking unnecessary questions about that, so having a certificate or mark on social media pages and websites which will automatically verified and linked up with Cisco's website from the academy's website address. Thus will indeed help in boosting trust between the operators of the academy and clients.
