Moving courses between accounts in bulk

Question

I'm trying to move multiple courses, around 2000, some with enrollments, from the root account to a sub-account under the root. I'm aware of the process for moving one course at a time, but that won't work for our use case. I'm wondering if there is a way to do this using SIS imports or scripts.

Hi @steve_shishani,

If your accounts all have sis_ids, you can pretty easily move things around by using the sis import with a courses csv file.  I usually start by doing an sis export report, which will give you a courses file to work from.  Change the account for each course to the desired one, then save and upload the CSV and everything should properly get moved.
