Locating a Deleted SIS ID

[Carter41]

I am trying to use a SIS ID for a new course I'm building and am getting the error that it's already in use. I have searched for this SIS ID in all of our accounts and can't locate the course it's associated with, which leads me to believe the course was deleted.

Is there a way to search for or restore a deleted course via the SIS ID? Unfortunately I don't know the course ID that is required on this page (see screenshot).

Hi @Carter41,

The easiest way I know to do this is to run an admin Provisioning Report, selecting the Courses and the "include deleted items" options.  You'll get a CSV file you can open in excel and search for the SIS_Id.  You should then be able to get the course ID so you can restore the course and remove the SIS_id from it if you wish so it can be used elsewhere.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tip! I actually found it using this report option.
